Saturday’s ad is for Ballantine, from 1948. In this ad, part of a series progressing from one, to two, to three rings, a black whale is swimming in the ocean spouting from his blowhole, creating rings in the air above him. First one, then another until finally three rings mimic the Ballantine logo.

By the look on that whale’s face, he must have ingested some from a stash that fell overboard 🙂
