Description
Three color 5 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that starts off with “A Legacy from Col. James Crow”. The document that they have reproduced says “To future generations I leave the finest whiskey ever produced in old Kentucky”. That whiskey was Old Crow Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The ad says that “Those in the know – ask for Old Crow A Truly Great Name Among America’s Great Whiskies. Bottled in Bond“. In order to put themselves at ease, they printed this following banner. “The Old Crow whiskey you buy today was distilled and laid away to age years before the war. Today the Old Crow Distillery is producing only alcohol for war purposes”.
