LIFE Magazine - Framed Original Ad - 1960 Early Times Bourbon

LIFE Magazine issues included many ads for alcohol and cigarettes. This 1960 Early Times Bourbon ad is a great example of one of the companies that used LIFE to gain customers. Upon order, this advertisement will be painstakingly extracted from the original edition in which it appears and carefully framed and packaged for delivery.    

Early Times was created by John Henry “Jack” Beam, son of David Beam, Jim Beam’s brother. Jack left his father’s distillery in 1860 at the age of 21. According to the company's website, the distillery where Early Times is made is Kentucky's longest continually operating distillery still under the same ownership. The Early Times brand itself is one of the longest running labels in bourbon, now celebrating 160 years.

This ad will look amazing in any home, an office, dormitory -- or restaurant or bar! Since the ad is the original from an authentic and rare LIFE Magazine, you can rest assured of its unique value! This is a perfect birthday, holiday, Father’s Day or Mother’s Day gift!  Personalize this gift by including a certificate of authenticity with your special message.

The LIFE Magazine ad itself measures approximately 10.5″ x 13.5″ and it surrounded by a white professional framing mat cut to this ad’s specifications. The total area of the advertisement and the mat measures 15.75” x 19.7” and looks fantastic. The handsome and contemporary dark-brown frame itself is a high-quality medium-density fiberboard (MDF) with shatterproof plexiglass.

As an ad taken from an original magazine from the stated date, the ad may show signs of aging.  As a collector’s item, all sales are final and returns are not accepted.
