| Beefeater |
Full color 8" x 11" ad for Beefeater London Distilled Dry Gin. In this ad that is a picture of a full bottle of this product, shown with the label facing forward. The ad headline says that "England is England. And "London Dry" is anywhere". It then explains that ""London Dry" is a type of gin. It means the gin contains no sweetness. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's made in London. A "London Dry" gin can come from Cincinnati, Peoria or even Linden, New Jersey. However, there is quite a bit of difference between an English-sounding gin and a gin actually distilled and bottled in London, England. Consider if you will, the most famous of all imported gins, Beefeater. Since 1820, Beefeater has been noted for its delicate and distinguished taste. To the fastidious, Beefeater is the first name for the martini. Beefeater's identifiable excellence is due in no small part to the personal supervision of the Burrough family. Beefeater is the only gin in London produced by the family of the original founder. To this day, each distillation must be sampled and approved by a family member. Each bottle is numbered and recorded. Taste a Beefeater yourself. You'll find it a charming geography lesson". |

Full color 9 3/4" x 13 3/4" ad for Gordon's Distilled London Dry Gin. This is a very old-seeming ad with a picture of a tabletop with an old-style serving tray on it with, at least, three glasses filled with Gordon's Gin and a bottle of the product sitting there, turned so the label is facing to the reader. There is a label in this ad that says "Drinks Never Taste Thin With Gorden's Gin" and the text says that it is "Distinguished for its Liqueur Quality and Hogh Proof, 94.1, Gordon's Gin assures you richer flavor - velvety smoothness - drinks that never taste thin. Ask for Gordon's by name". |

Black and white 5 1/4" x 13 1/2" ad for their Gordon's Distilled London Dry Gin. The first words in this ad were "No doubt about it. Drinks Never Taste Thin With Gordon's Gin". These words are placed right at the top of a drawing that shows a bottle of this Gin and a filled glass sitting out in front of it. At the bottom of this ad there is another round statement and it says "and here's the reason. Gordon's has the Advantage of Liqueur Quality & High Proof 94.4". The ad then tells us that "Experts know that all gins are not alike. And Gordon's has Liqueur Quality and High Proof, 94.4. That's an important advantage. For it assures you richer flavor, velvety smoothness - drinks that never taste thin. So ask for Gordon's when ordering gin by the bottle or the drink". |

Full color 7 1/2" x 10 3/4" ad for Seagram's Extra Dry Gin with the recipe for how to make The Ruddy Mary. We see an evening being shared by a young couple, casually dressed, in a room of red as they seem to be sharing a bottle of Seagram's Extra Dry Gin. They are enjoying the casuallness of the intimacy of the two of them being together and the ad says "The Ruddy Mary. A better Bloody Mary made with gin instead of vodka. The perfect martini gin, Seagram's Extra Dry". At the bottom of the ad it gives the directions, instructions, whatever you want for how to make the drink. It says "The Ruddy Mary: 1 1/2 oz. of Seagram's Gin, 3 oz. tomato juice, 1/2 oz. lemon juice, a dash of Worchester, salt, pepper. Shake with ice". |

Full color 9 1/2" x 11 1/2" ad for their Imported Distilled English Gin. The ad is drawn as a caricature and shows a room where a party is taking place and one man, identified as a Mr. Jenkins, seems out-ot-place. He is holding up a glass and everyone else at the party seems to be staring at him while the caption says that "Mr. Jenkins doesn't understand all the hip hop lyrics at his friend's record release party, but he understands gin and juice very clearly". In the lower left hand corner, where we see the green bottle of this product, are the words "How refreshingly distinctive". |

Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for Walker's Gin as they say "Taste what Imported Botanicals add to these gin drinks". The ad picture shows two drinks sitting on a table with four little people working on them. There is a little Chinaman, two people who look like Central Americans and a man who is standing there in a hat and a suit holding a basket. Each of these people is doing something that seem to be added to the drink. The ad says that "These men are growers of goodness. They raise, pamper and reap the prized Imported Botanicals that make Hiram Walker's Gin so much tastier. Cassia from Indo-China. Juniper from Italy. Delicate herbs, roots and berries from many lands - the finest the world grows". You imagine that this is the best that can be done to improve the product. "Yet - only the best of these rate a place in Hiram Walker's Gin. Fine as they are, these choice botanicals are finer in some years then they are in others. They have their best, their "vintage years" - when Mother Nature makes them especially good. Only then do we buy them". |

Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad for White Satin Gin. This ad, also, shows two bottles standing next to each other on a white sheet, but, in this ad, under the one ad it says "British, by Jove" and, under the other, it says "American, by gosh". You wonder just what is meant by this until you read the text in the ad. It says that "White Satin, the gin the British first made in 1770, is now made here. In an imported British still. So you can get British taste without paying import dues. By Jove, be smart. Wrap your next martini in White Satin". That makes sense to me. |
