THE FINEST OLD WHISKEY 
IN THE WORLD 
HE Gibson Rye Whiskey distilled in 1900, and 
held A in ’ the , original ' wood twelve years,' is 
today the finest old whiskey money can buy. 
Ripened and mellowed by the subtle processes 
of time, it is smooth and delicate, with a 
wonderfully rich bouquet — a whiskey too fine to sell 
in the ordinary way. It will be drawn in one-gallon 
demijohns, boxed, sealed and shipped direct from our 
warehouses to the order of your dealer — or to per¬ 
sonal address, express prepaid — at $10.00 a gallon.
