The rooster and the slogan "Headed for Greatness" set this advertisement apart from other drinks in the collection, since it sells a whiskey through a bird and a boast rather than through a bottle or a glass. Schenley Reserve was a product of Schenley Distillers, a company that expanded quickly after Prohibition ended in 1933 and became one of the largest American liquor makers of the mid-twentieth century. Magazine ads from that period often relied on bold illustration and short slogans, so it is worth noticing how this image is built to suggest confidence and ambition.
