Beer In Ads #1832: Facts Versus Fallacies #34

February 25, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is another one for the Pennsylvania State Brewers Association, from 1915, No. 34 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 “34,” is an odd one, and simply praises a Philadelphia newspaper who had been previously all for prohibition, but who now praised the efforts of the Philadelphia Lager Beer Brewers’ Association in arguing against it and especially its claims that they at least respect those twice-weekly ad. But that is a rather strange way to spend one of their ads. It seems so meta.
