Vou yourself, for example, have often mixed your favorite cocktail, using the same proportions as usual, with out getting the same results as usual. Neither you nor your recipe is to blame it's the gin. For, contrary to popular belief, good gin is the most difficult liquor in the world to make! Juniper berries, coriander seed, sweet orange peel and other essential gin ingredients, vary in flavor not only from each other but also from themselves! Nobody Need Ever Complain Again! For 300 years, all that the finest gin formula could do was to control the proportions of the ingredients . . . but Hiram Walker's "C. C." Process actually controls the flavor varia tions of these ingredients! It elimi nates the danger of any one flavor "running wild" and coming through too strong! This remarkable "C. C." Process, in use since the opening of Hiram Walker's Peoria distillery, a year ago, enables you to buy, mix, serve and taste a gin so smooth and so per fectly balanced, that nobody need ever complain of variations in flavor. For Hiram Walker has added to the No 'up and down' flavor" says Fred Roth, Hotel Roosevelt, New York, world's most famous formula for fla vor, the world's most important proc ess for uniformity. No Extra Cost to You Hiram Walker's London Dry Gin is distilled from grain spirits a very important distinction to remember in gin. And the "C. C." Process is an assurance of flavor perfection day in and day out, in the bottle you buy any day! It will pay you to insist upon this world-famous gin it costs no more.
