Harwood's
Three color 5" x 12 1/2" ad for their Blended Canadian Whisky. There is a copy of a painting by Ray Johnson that shows the gold-rush in 1808 where so many miners and settlers raced into the Northwest that "Mounties" were doing full-time duty trying to keep order. The text explains that as the Royal Canadian "Mounties" are "a world-famed symbol of integrity, dependability and aboove all, authority", Harwood's Canadian is to millions, something that they can "always depend for lightness, true authority and unchanging quality".

Hunter
Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for their Fine Blended Whiskey. The ad has a picture of a man in a red coat tipping his hat as he and his horse cleanly jump over a split-rail fence and the headline calls out "First over the bars!". The text explains that, just like a prize-winning jumper, a whiskey must be developed slowly, expertly and with infinite care. Hunter has been developing their procedures for 86 years and are proud with the result. In the bottom right-hand corner of the ad is a platter with two glasses and a bottle of this product with the same man and horse jumping the fence.

Hunter
Full color 10" x 13 1/2" ad that is for the Fine Hunter Blended Whiskey. This ad is very similar to another one from this period, the same drawing yet some different text. It shows a drawing of a man wearing a red coat and waving his hat as he and the horse are jumping over a split-rail fence. The ad headline says "First over the bars" before continuing with "Like a prize-winning jumper, Hunter has been developed slowly, expertly and with infinite care. For it takes time, patience and skill to produce a whiskey worthy of the acclaim that Hunter has received down through the years. And nothing less that eighty-seven years of experience could have achieved the matchless flavor and all-around excellence of today's Hunter...An American Gentleman's Whiskey since 1860".

Hunter
Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad that highlights Baseball. There is a unique fact at the top of the page, the fact that ""Candy" Cummings discovered the curve ball". The facts that the writers used to display this bit of history are "When W.A. "Candy" Cummings stepped to the mound for the Brooklyn Stars, in a game with the Brooklyn Atlantics in the summer of 1867, he had no idea that he was destined to make history. Intending to throw a straight fast ball, the only pitch known to the game, he accidently gave a twist to his wrist, allowing the ball to leave his hand from between the thumb and fingers. He was amazed to see the ball curve away from the plate and the batter miss it a mile. He tried the same pitch again. Again the ball curved. And a new era in baseball was born". Shown is a jersey with "1867" showing as chest numbers lying there with a hat and a bat. There are two used baseballs, a bottle of Hunter Fine Blended Whiskey and a glass filled with a drink with a slice of orange and a cherry. The bottom words say that "When you discover Hunter...you'll instantly recognize the superior flavor that has made it as famous as America's luxury blend. Hunter's flavor is so distinctive that no one has been able to copy it in over 91 years".
