Sunday’s ad is for Pabst Blue Ribbon, from 1933. It’s a simple post-prohibition ad showing an older, respectable-looking man pouring himself a beer. He doesn’t immediately seem like the sort of person who smiles a lot, but pouring his Pabst, he does seem happy.
I’d be happy too if I hadn’t had a beer in years.
Damn straight – he looks like a “father figure” local banker who didn’t hit speakeasies 🙂
