"Clear Heads Cheer for Calvert Whiskies," heralds this attractive cardboard advertising display sign, picturing bottles of Calvert's Special and Reserve brands of whiskey.  A football scene appears in the background, the advertising message shown blaring from a megaphone, a smaller banner below the action reading "All America's Choice," as if to imply that college students enjoy Calvert's.  Measuring 13 1/2" x 20 1/4", the sign does exhibit normal wear at the edges and corners, along with a few surface abrasions consistent with its intended use.  The easel back has been removed, and some areas of discoloration and staining accompany the paper remnants.  A few light water stains and some pencil writing can also be observed on the reverse.  An outstanding advertising piece, blending football with whiskey, dating to 1936.
