Beer In Ads #1618: Beer Fishing

July 16, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is another one for Miller High Life, this time from 1947. It’s a detailed illustration of a man fishing from the back of a boat, while at the same time eating a sandwich with a bottle of beer. He’s wearing kind of a goofy grin, maybe that’s what happens if you’re on a boat too long?

    … and if he’s not careful, the hovering gulls will snatch his sandwich unless he smacks them w/the beer bottle 🙂

    If he nabs a big one that rod will be gone in the ocean while his hands are full.
