History- In the mid-1950s Imperial Whiskey changed its branding strategy to one of endorsements by men engaged in somewhat macho activities. This well-known series showed specific men associated with activities such as boat racing, big-game hunting, deep-sea diving, sport fishing, and bronco busting. The motto here is "FOR MEN AMONG MEN THERE IS A WHISKEY AMONG WHISKIES - IMPERIAL" and the tag line "Man, this is whiskey!"
Condition- This ad is in excellent condition.
You can pick this up in Porters Lake. I do go into northend Halifax once a week during the lunch hour and could meet you there if that is easier.
