Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Seagram’s Golden Gin. This ad has a picture that shows a full bottle of Seagram’s Golden Gin on a platter along with two different glasses filled with drinks of different kinds. Behind this is a triple-layer of hors d’oeuvres waiting there, just to be tasted. They show what is in the layers on the left side of this ad. It shows Smoked Salmon Canapes, Cheese Olives, Melon and Prosciutto, Red Cavier Tartlets, Salami Cornucopias, Anchovy Squares, Lily-Of-The-Valley Canapes, Ham Rolls and Shrimp Crescents. The ad headline claims that this is “The best friend your hors d’oeuvres ever had…Seagram’s Golden Gin. The Golden Touch of Hospitality”. It then says that “Most nearly everybody is discovering the extra flavor, extra smoothness of America’s fastest-growing gin. And there’s a reason. At the point where usual types of gin are bottled, Seagram’s Golden Gin is endowed with an extra, vital step. A step that naturally mellows, slowly turns its color from white to pale gold. And imparts an incomparable taste. The result is a rare gin. Wondrously smooth. Extra dry and appetizing. You’ll pay a bit more – but you’ll enjoy your martinis or gin-on-the-rocks a great, great deal more, too”.
