Another selection of Old Ads has been uploaded – not as many for Powers Whiskey as has been spotted for tobacco products. There were quite a few things that I had not realised – that they had made gin as well as whiskey; that the distillery was at John’s Lane; that the apostrophe was dropped at some stage; and, that the marketing saying was ‘Three Swallow’ as I had always used ‘Three Swallows’. More research is required as to why the apostrophe was dropped and why a singular swallow after three. |
