Thursday’s ad is for Narragansett, from 1950. The black and white ad shows a woman staring back at the viewer, with a baseball game on the television behind her. The scene on television almost looks the same as the billboard from yesterday, with a player sliding into home. The ad also uses their famous “Hi, Neighbor! Have a ‘Gansett” tagline.
Looks like he’s sliding into 2nd base…the player tagging him isn’t wearing catcher’s gear, eh?
I miss those old cans. That’s why I love Sly Fox’s Helles; you can peel off the top and use the can as a cup.
Nostalgia. Take it with baseball.
Right you are, Miles – the (albeit fuzzy) artistry in this one is far more accurate than the Bud ad Jay posted yesterday. (and the babe is a plus – LOL)
