than ever"
› said Johnnie Walker
Only whisky that has matured for long years in the wood is used in the blending of Johnnie Walker; and thanks to the huge stocks of whiskies which have been laid down through- out the years, Johnnie Walker is older and better than ever.
All over Scotland these fine whiskies are patiently maturing, waiting to give, when skilfully blended, that roundness " and harmony which has always been a distinctive. feature of Johnnie Walker, Reméniber to look for the famous square bottle; remember to ask for Johnnie Walker by name.
