| Barton's QT |
Full color 9 1/2" x 12" ad has a photo of ten different brands of American made whiskey standing together and a bottle of Barton's QT Premium American Whiskey standing in front. The ad headline explains that "Every leading American whiskey is distilled the same way. Except one." It then says that "Barton's QT is lighter and milder than any whiskey you've ever tasted. Because it's distilled at a higher proof than most traditional whiskey. And it's stored in selected, seasoned barrels. (Traditionally, most whiskey has been stored in new barrels.) And Barton's QT is filtered in a special way - to make it lighter and smoother. Next year, we expect that many other distillers will also be selling whiskey distilled at a higher proof than traditional American whiskey and stored in seasoned barrels. But there won't be another whiskey as light and smooth as Barton's QT for a long, long time". |

| Beam |
Full color 10" x 13 1/2" ad that discusses the kinds of Kentucky Bourbons they were making and bottling. The picture in the ad is a black and white one showing a man sitting at a table with his hands behind his head looking at, in color, four bottles of Beam products. The floor has scraps of ribbon and paper and there are three or four presents behind him. The headline says that these bottles are "Too good to wrap". It explains that "Beam Bottles were never meant to be concealed (except, perhaps, in their own attractive gift cartons). The people on your gift lists should see them quickly...without having to undo a lot of fancy wrappings. When they see the Beam label, and taste the incomparable flavor of the World's Finest Bourbon...yout reputation as a gift-giver is made". At the lower left corner of the ad can be seen a bottle of Jim Beam which it says is the most popular of the Jim Beam Bourbons, a bottle of the Beam Bottled in Bond, which was aged fully for 6 years, a Beam's Pin Bottle which would be aged for 8 years and had a unique Pin-Point Pourer and a bottle of the Beam's Anniversary Bourbon which was advertised as being aged for 160 months. |

Full color 9 3/4" x 13 3/4" ad that is for Black Velvet Blended Canadian Whisky. The ad has a picture that shows a bottle of Black Velvet standing there next to what they call "The Black Velvet Drum. A little extra we dreamed-up". The ad then asks, "Is it fair to compare Black Velvet with America's largest-selling whiskies? We're willing to put our money on your nose. So do this. Sniff. Black Velvet versus a sniff of any of America's big name whiskies. Our blend of expensive Canadian whiskies tastes so light and smooth you can actually smell the difference. Our idea is simple. Make a whiskey good enough to give American whiskey drinkers a place to go. Will they make the move, when Black Velvet costs a little more? America, lend us your nose". |
