If a gin sells well in a few places, for a few
weeks, it’s generally good gin. But when ANY gin
leads ALL others for MONTHS in the ENTIRE
Territory, then you have found the ultimate gin—
OLD MR. BOSTON DRY GIN. For such is its
proud, enviable record.
Give the credit to the gin itself. Here’s no
mere juniper-gin. Oh no! Crystal-clear Old Mr.
Boston Dry Gin is a happy, successful blend of six
teen world wide ingredients. It’s a versatile,
friendly gin, and mixes deliciously with bitters,
vermouth, lime or lemon, soda or ginger ale. It
lifts a cocktail or fizz or rickey to a veritable work
of art. Or you can drink it deliciously straight,
for it’s as smooth as old brandy. It’s suave, and
with a delightful, quietly-interesting flavor.
Ask for, and insist on, Old Mr. Boston Dry
Gin.—
