Tuesday’s ad is another one for the Pennsylvania State Brewers Association, from 1915, No. 22 in series they did from 1915-17 called “Facts Versus Fallacies.” I have no idea how many were done but some of the them are numbered into low triple digits, suggesting there were a lot of them, all in an effort to stop Prohibition from happening and win over support for beer. This ad, marked “22,” lists several reasons why the then-growing prohibition laws would do little to curb consumption, according to the most recent numbers available for per capita alcohol consumption.
These are brilliant – keep them coming!
