Friday’s ad is another one for the Pennsylvania State Brewers Association, from 1915, No. 36 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 “36,” is all about the “Local Option,” and how Pennsylvanians had already voted against it the previous years. It’s interesting to see how specific these ads could be, which I guess is possible because they appear to run a new ad twice a week. It’s almost like a running commentary.
