Description
Black and white 7 3/4″ x 8 1/2″ newspaper ad for their Blended Whiskey. There is a picture of what I assume is a happy customer, a Henry D. Backall of 524 Tasker St in Philadelphia, PA and he is holding up his right hand with two thick fingers close together and he is saying “Big Saving…Better Whiskey…Both in the Same Bottle”. He goes on to say that you can find an inexpensive whiskey and a good-tasting whiskey but they are usually not in the same bottle. Old Drum, he claims, is the one exception, The text claims that Old drum is “Made from same ‘Premium’ Grain as Costliest Whiskies”, mentions a price of 75 cents a pint and promises that you can “Smell the difference”, you will “Taste the difference” and then you will “Pocket the difference”.
