Beer In Ads #1083: Polka Dots & Swans

January 26, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is again for Rheingold Beer, this one from 1957, and features Miss Rheingold from that year, Margie McNally. This one shows her sitting by the side of a pond next to a birch tree in a striking light blue dress with white polka dots, holding a matching hat in her hand. Behind her there’s a white swan gliding by. Despite the idyllic setting, for the second day in a row there’s not a hint of a beer anywhere to be seen.

    It’s probably hidden under her dress, horizontal w/cap still on 🙂
