The ad definitely used that image of the drum major.

I found a picture of the ad, but it is too small to read: https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/p...ntic-Color.jpg

Here is a link to a photo of a laminated version of the ad on display at the "House of Scotland" cottage in San Diego's Balboa Park. It is at least legible:

Looking at it now, it seems to be very focused on small details of the uniform. In my mind I recall something about the spats, but don't see it here. So perhaps there was another version, or perhaps my mind is mis-remembering (entirely possible given that I recall examining the picture in the living room of a house that we moved out of when I was ten years old). Still, it clearly made an impression on me. And certainly the gentleman in the picture looks splendid.

It would be many years before I found myself in an actual kilt shop, face to face with many of these items. And at that time, I was rather broke and amazed at the cost of proper Scottish kit. I've done my best to rectify things in the 20 years since then.
