The ad shows six different objects whose name begins with "M" and asks you to identify each.

| MacNaughton |
Black and white 5" x 13" ad for MacNaughton's Canadian Whiskey and the ad tells us that this is A Blend. There is a cute drawing above the words in this ad showing a well-maintained yard with a hedge on both sides of the sidewalk and, behind this, are an assortment of plants of different styles and showing different heights. At the front of this area is a bird bath filled with water and, on top of this, relaxing away, is a small little cat, resting and waiting to see if anything will fly down. The ad tells us that this is Pleasing! yes...it's so extra pleasing because of that delightful MacNaughton flavor. It's Satin Soft. |

| MacNaughton |
Full color 9 3/4" x 13 1/2" ad that is for "Imported MacNaughton Canadian Whisky". The ad says that it is "For giving on a grand scale!" and it seems like it is because it shows an intricate balance scale with a full bottle of Imported MacNaughton Canadian Whisky holding the scale down on one end, and on the other there is a well-dressed man sitting in a chair, a woman dressed and reclining on the floor and a second man, seems to be a butler, there with a platter and a bottle. The ad declares that it is "Canada's Finest! *Full 6 Years Old *Full 86.8 Proof *Light, Gentle Taste *Extraordinary Value". On the other side of the ad it gives the price as $5.38 a Fifth and says that we could get the decanter at No Extra Cost. |

| McKenna |
Full color 10" x 14" ad with a picture of a man's burly hand holding a jug of Henry McKenna's Whiskey. The headline tells us that "When Henry McKenna called his whiskey "old line and hand made", this is what he meant". They explain that Henry brought in his corn from neighboring fields, mixed his own mash and milled the grain minutes before cooking it. As years went by, he taught his son how to do it too. He seeded each batch of sour mash with yeast that he kept from the old. His early output: one barrel per day. He built his mill and potstill in 1855 in Fairfield, Nelson County, KY and the product is still made in the same place. Corn is still brought in from the neighboring fields, the old cypress yeasting tubs and the brass and iron steam engine (71 years old) are still in use. That's why Henry called his whiskey what he did, because that is how he made it. |

| McKenna |
Black and white 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for their hand made Kentucky Whiskey. There is a picture that shows a jug from 1855 next to a bottle from 1964 with a headline that states "If you want to know how Kentucky hand made whiskey tastes, open this bottle of Henry McKenna". The text gives a little bit of history talking about the Irishman Henry McKenna beginning with an output of one barrel a day. It says that his original distillary is still standing and the product is still being distilled from local corn. It also claims that the 71 year old brass and iron steam engine is still being used and, when repairs are needed, the parts are still made by hand. |

| McMaster's |
Black and white 9 3/4" x 13 1/4" ad for McMaster's Whisky, either 80 Proof Blended Scotch Whisky or 80 Proof Canadian Whisky. The headline introduces this ad "McMaster's. The drink of the stingy rich" and then the rest of the text explains why. "There are certain advantages to being rich. For one thing, you don't have to impress anybody with how rich you are. So you can act stingy. And get richer. When it comes to liquor, the stingy rich don't squander their money on expensive bottles with fancy labels. They put their money where it counts. In taste. Their choice? McMaster's imported Scotch. It's made like and tastes like expensive Scotches. And McMaster's imported Canadian. As fine a Canadian as you'll find at any price. Go on. Serve McMaster's Canadian and Scotch. Your friends will think you're richer than you are". |
