Beer In Ads #74: Miller High Life’s The Lady Chooses

by Jay Brooks on March 26, 2010 · 2 comments

in Art & Beer,Beers

Friday’s ad is for Miller High Life from 1952 and features a female golfer and the tagline “The Lady Chooses.” I love the hat with tees in them, and did you notice she’s wearing a golf glove on both hands.

Tiger’s in love.

Tom from Raleigh March 29, 2010 at 6:30 am: Holy cow! Look at belt. She probably can’t feel her legs at all because her belt is so tight!

I really like seeing how beer used to be portrayed in the media. Too bad small brewers don’t advertise, I’d love to see a Sierra Nevada ad for Bigfoot that shows a bottle a snifter a leather bound book in a library or something. Beer and books go together as well as beer and sports as long as you have the right beer.
