Manufacturers of .Fine Bourbon Whiskey.

What's in a Name?  The value of any name today is measured alone by the quality of the whiskey which it identifies. The Wathen name has meant Fine Bourbon Whiskey since the beginning of the distillery industry in Kentucky. Since the opening of the John A. Wathen plant over a year ago, we have not missed a single day's operation and are now producing 170 barrels per day so steady is the demand. We are in a position to offer a limited amount of Fall, 1935, production. 

Unbound from a large 1935 post-prohibition trade magazine, this unique old one-page advertisement would display beautifully matted and framed. Nice graphics. A fabulous addition to your retro alcohol industry library. Prohibition in the United States was a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages from 1920 to 1933.
