A Highland figure, with the Scottish dress and rugged bearing that goes with it, sets this advertisement apart from the other tobacco pictures on the board. The Johnnie Walker name belongs to a Scotch whisky firm founded in Kilmarnock in 1820, and its striding man became one of the most recognizable trademarks in advertising. Cigarette makers often borrowed the reputation of established drink brands, and a Highland image signaled Scottish heritage and sturdiness. The phrase "Going Strong" does much of the work, turning that heritage into a claim about lasting power.
