Beer In Ads #1518: Time For A Break!

April 7, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Carling Black Label, from 1958. It was during the “Mabel, Black Label” period of time, but was from a different ad campaign with the tagline “People try it … and they like it.” A couple — I assume they’re a couple since they’re wearing coordinated outfits; his socks match her sweater — is working in their garden. I don’t know what he’s doing up on that ladder, but he’s staying up there to take a break, and his wife is handing him a beer. Staying up on the ladder doesn’t seem like much of a break, or is that just me?
