The slogan "Don't be vague, ask for Haig" sets this advertisement apart, turning a simple request at the bar into a pun on the brand name. Haig & Haig was a long-established Scotch whisky firm, and Haig Gold Label was one of its blended whiskies, marketed to a British audience that drank whisky in pubs, clubs and at home. Advertisements like this one leaned on memorable wording and a clean, confident look to make a brand name stick in readers' minds. Look closely at how the text and the product are arranged, since that layout was central to how such campaigns were meant to be remembered.
