Thirty-six long years in business, each year more successful than the previous one, with never a backward movement, always growing larger, ever in.creasing in popular favor. How many that were doing business 36 years ago are even in existence to-day? Very, very few. In this age of development and fierce competition, a concern must do business right, treat its customers right, and sell what is right, to even hold its own, much less advance. To do otherwise means that the concern of to-day is likely to be out of the running tomorrow. The graveyard of business failures is full to overflowing. But thirtysix years of continuous success and still growing! Think of it! How has it been accomplished? In just one way. By selling absolutely pure whiskey, direct from our own distillery to the consumer, saving him the enormous profits of the dealers, and carrying out to the letter every statement or offer we make, thereby creating a confidence with our over a quarter of a million satisfied customers that cannot be broken.
