Description
Black and white 4 3/4″ x 13″ ad for their American Blended Whiskey. This ad has a baseball cartoon with Mr. Smooth at bat. He has hit a pop-up and Mr. Silk who was the catcher has run under the ball and, in spite of the fact he has a glove on his right hand, he is catching the ball with his top hat which he holds in his left. The ad headline calls this “The Smoothest Catch in Whiskey”. This ad is taller than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
