Measuring 16" x 14" this colorful baseball-related advertising piece encourages people to "pick the winner" by choosing Paul Jones Whiskey while also choosing the winners of that day's baseball games. Affixed to the piece is a pad containing lists of each day's baseball games for the 1959 season. Clearly some sort of gambling-related contest participants could enter for the price of $0.25 though the prize for each day's winner is unknown. Still an exceptionally attractive piece printed on very heavy cardboard with a fresh pencil attached to the display by a length of string. Whichever spirits retailer displayed this piece abandoned the promotion before the end of the season the attached calendar perpetually stopped at September 10 1959 (We'll pick the Yankees to beat the A's and we'll spot you 10 runs).
