Beer In Ads #1333: This Book Isn’t Worth Reading …

October 4, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is another one from the United States Brewers Foundation, this one from 1941. As far as I know this one’s not from a specific series. The point of the ad is that for one book not worth reading you wouldn’t tear down an entire library, and likewise you wouldn’t condemn the entire beer industry for a few bad retailers. Of course, that’s exactly what prohibitionists due, extrapolating any behavior as not reflecting on the bad actor, but on the industry as a whole.

    How ironic that they mention PA, which has some of, if not THE WORST liquor laws in the US – there’s a good reason why the borders of neighboring states are lined w/liquor stores!
