- WOODFORD & DEAN'S Anderson County, Ky., "T.A.D." llatid-Made Sour Mash. "Wliîsltey. We take great pleasure in calling the attention of our trade to this brand of Whiskey. We have copyrighted, the Trade-Mark, "T. A. D.," and place it upon what is fecognized by good judges to be the finest production of Anderson Co., Ky. The whiskey was made by J. W. Stevens, in the little Hand-Made Sour Mash House on Hammond's Creek, four miles west of Lavvrenceburg, Ky. This house was started in 1857 by Samuel Stevens. It is the second oldest house in the county, The average capacity until 1881 was forty-five bushels, and last year it was increased to fifty-two, There were made in the season of 1881, five hun- dred and fifty-two barrels. There are no seventy-nines remain- ing, and the eighties are being rapidly withdrawn. We are the sole owners of the entire crop of this make, and we pledge our- selves not to place it upon the market until it has passed three full summers, recognizing that the réputation of a brand is only sustained bythe standard being maintained. Believing, as we do, that it is second to none ever produced in the State ot Ken- tucky, we promise our frlends that the " T. A. D." brand shall only be placed upon the finest productions of Anderson County Hand-Made Sour Mash Whiskies. Our succcss with this brand so far lias been very flattering, andwe bcspcak for it a trial at the hands ol our customeis whp have not as yct tried it. WoODFORD, Dean & Co., Indlanapolis, Ind.
