What did the
Planter say planting himself
in his chair?
"Good old JOHNNIE WALKER
-there's a whisky for you"
"It's good to get back to Johnnie Walker ! "'
That is particularly true after a hard day's work. There's something delightfully clean and refresh- ing about the flavour of Johanie Walker. And no wonder. For Johnnie Walker in the finest blend of
the finest Scotch whiskies, perfectly mellowed and matured. It's old and it's good.
