Black and white 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for their Sophisticated Vodka which they claim is distilled "for people who enjoy other tastes". The picture in the ad shows an attractive young lady wearing a bathing suit and a crown while a banner goes from her shoulder to her hip and proclaims her to be Miss Tomato Juice. She is standing behind a basket filled with ripe tomatoes and is holding up a glass that seems to be filled with tasty tomato juice and the headline claims that "Arrow Vodka is for people who'd rather drink tomato juice". The text claims that there really are people who would rather taste what the drink is mixed with instead of the "hard liquor taste" that so many other vodkas provide. It claims that the spirit of Arrow "sneaks through the juice without changing the flavor". |

The ad has a photo of a deserted city street where a camel has knelt down on the center line of the road and a man in a black tuxedo is leaning on the camel's hump. The ad headline has the man saying "I'd ride a mile for a Smirnoff Martini" and the text claims that more and more people are changing to Smirnoff for their Martinis. Being filtered through 14,000 pounds of activated charcoal has got to do something for it. |

The ad has a picture of the evening sky with a city skyline in the background where a group of well-dressed people are mingling in evening clothers on a balcony with no railing.

It reminds us that it is filtered through 14,000 pounds of activated charcoal and questions "Why wonder which whiskey to give when you know the right vodka?". |

The ad has a picture of an attractive lady dressed in a red devil suit and she has her arms crossed just under her face.

The ad has a picture of Johnny wearing a dark business suit sitting in a throne of dark wood as the snow falls and accumulates on the entire scene. Johnny has his one leg crossed and is holding a glass that we have to assume is filled with a Smirnoff Blizard. Lying next to Johnny is his sidekick for this party, a Saint Bernard, who lies in the snow with a bottle of Smirnoff odka and a bottle of Fresca, waiting for his cue to laugh uproariously. The headline claims that "Smirnoff makes the Blizzard howl" and the text gives the proper directions and ingredients to make this refreshing drink. It does warn though that "unless you insist on Smirnoff your Blizzard could fizzle into just another summer downpour". |
