Black and white 9 3/4" x 12" ad for Jack Daniels Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey. This ad has a photo of two men who are leaning on the front end of a heavy truck that is filled with a lot of vertical standing oak casks. The ad headline says that "Jack Daniel's Distillery is a peaceful place where older men talk and younger men listen. Life is slower in the Tennessee hills, so there's plenty of time for conversation. We like it that way, because our veteran employees can teach all they know to newer men breaking in. You see, each of our oldtimers is aware of the standards Jack Daniel himself set down. And after a sip of our whiskey, you'll know why we don't want them forgotten". At the bottom of the ad is the words "Smooth Sippin' Tennessee Whiskey" and a drawing of a bottle of Jack Daniels Whiskey to avoid any confusion. |

The picture at the top of the page shows a man wearing overalls, a plaid shirt and a hat and he is sitting on a drum which is one of three.

Seeping it through room-high mellowing vats and then waiting while their whiskey gains more smoothness in charred oak barrels. They say that "there are times when it looks like we're hardly working". |

Full color 7 1/2" x 10 1/2" ad for Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This ad has a photo of the man who is the fifth generation of Beam's, the man who I would assume has been running the company. This man is sitting in a rocking chair while holding a cane, outside and underneath a tree. The ad says that he is "Son of the famous Col. Jim Beam, T. Jeremiah is the fifth generation of a Kentucky family that's been making the same Bourbon since 1795. That's a long tome for one family to make one product, according to one formula. As a matter of fact, 1970 marks the 175th anniversary of the year in which James Bean, founder of the Beam clan, sold his first barrel of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Since then, six generations of Beams have been following in Jacob's footsteps, making Bourbon the way he did, according to a formula that's been a Beam family secret, practiced as a family art. When Springtime comes to these Kentucky hills, it works its seasonal magic on thousands of white oak barrels, aging the Beam family's Bourbon. The same as it has for the past 175 Springtimes. So when you take a sip of Jim Beam, savor it for a moment. Notice its quality and its light taste. That's what we mean when we say it's a 175-year-old family art". |
