Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad for Paul Jones Fine Blended Whiskey, 86 Proof. The ad has a drawing of a room where decisions are made, supposedly. There is a couch and a coffee table with a lamp on it. There are travelers brochures for Cape Cod, Newport, Santa Fe, Palm Springs, Tucson, Savannah as well as many others. There is even a bottle of Paul Jones Whiskey next to two full glasses. The ad headline, a statement of frustration, says “Let’s toss a coin – they all serve Paul Jones“. The ad then tells us that “First of all, Paul Jones proves to you that full, hearty flavor is still the secret of a superbly blended whiskey!”. I guess that says it all.
