Ten High
Three color 5" x 13 1/2" ad for Ten High Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This ad is a three section cartoon that tells the story of a sword swallower. In the first frame it says that "Sid brought down the house with his sword-swallowing trick at our club show. So, as chairman of the entertainment committee, I volunteered the drinks. "Okay," says Sid, "but be sure mine's made with TEN HIGH!". In the second one, the man asks ""How come?" I ask him. And Sid says, "Sword-swallowing is one thing, but when it comes to a highball, I'll take the whiskey with No Rough Edges!" And no wonder! That TEN HIGH went down mighty easy, and its rich flavor sure Doubled My Enjoyment of a swell evening!". In the third picture, it shows Sid, smiling widely, as he says "Mister, its a miracle! All whiskey, rich whiskey - with "No Rough Edges" That's TEN HIGH". Above the picture of Sid smiling, it has a banner telling you to "Get That TEN HIGH Smile".

The photo shows about six people very astutely listening as, first one person talks, then another one takes their turn. In the very front of the ad there is a picture of a full bottle of this product sitting just behind a glass full of the drink. The ad text says that you can "Enjoy Hiram Walker quality in a TRUE Bourbon. Sip it slow and easy - enjoy the rich rewarding taste of a True Bourbon".

Ten High
Full color 10" x 13" ad for their Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The headline asks if you know "How to appreciate a true Bourbon" and then starts to give you advice. It says that you must "Start with the color. Those lazy years in the aging barrels give Ten High the naturally golden amber hue that marks a true bourbon". OK, you have that part down. "No...don't sip yet. Savor the bouquet that only a true bourbon, a straight bourbon, can give you". OK, that part is done. "Now, taste. Sip it the way it's made. Slow and easy. See how Ten High's smoothness and mellowness live up to the promise of its color and aroma". That, I guess, is how you appreciate a true bourbon.

Three Feathers
Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for the Whiskie that is "First among fine whiskies". The ad photo is somewhat simple, there is a large picture frame hanging on the wall with three white feathers attached to the front of it so whatever is drawn on it, is unable to be seen. There is a small table in front of that with a bottle of Three Feathers Reserve on it along with a filled glass and a statue of a white and black ostrich. Humph. Being wartime there is a blue note attached to the ad saying that their distilleries are now producing alcohol for war use. No whiskey has been made since October 1942. They claim that the base whiskies that are now being served were made from their ever-diminishing inventories.
