Beer In Ads #1037: In America’s Tradition-Rich East

December 9, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Miller High Life, from the 1950s. Even though I grew up in the “tradition-rich East” Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, having been in California for almost thirty years I’m a tad offended at Miller’s implication that there’s no traditions out West. But given that odd holiday spread that the lady in red is putting out, I’m not so sure about her having a “special touch of gracious elegance.”

    That looks like a parlor from the 19th century – save for the clock, what hideously ugly furnishings!
