History- (edited from Wikipedia) - In 1903, the Kentucky Tavern trademark was first registered by the Glenmore Distillery Company, a large distillery company based in Owensboro, Kentucky. The company had been acquired by the Thompson brothers in 1901 for $30,000. Glenmore proved a successful and durable company and, in 1955, barreled its two millionth barrel of bourbon.
Condition- This ad is in excellent condition and measures 10 x 14 inches.

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.
