Beer In Ads #1634: Early American Discovery

July 31, 2015 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is another one for Ballantine Ale, again from from 1940. This was one a series of historic scenes done in a clay diorama style. This one shows a pathfinder following a somewhat circuitous set of footprints forming three circles. What could it mean? Did he find a beer?
