Agents, Breweries and Distillers.

Messrs. John Haig & Co., distillers, Markinch, sent out a blotter which formed a capital advertisement for their celebrated "Glenleven" whisky, 1893. There was a verse for every month in the year, and the rhythm is after the style of Longfellow's stirring poem, "Excelsior," which had been ingeniously paraphrased to suit the occasion. For example:- "Tis nectar for the gods, he said; Before my weary way I trend, I'll stand with pleasure glasses round, I'm more than happy now I've found- Glenleven."
