Beer In Ads #1834: Facts Versus Fallacies #46

February 27, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is another one for the Pennsylvania State Brewers Association, from 1916, No. 46 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 “46,” is all about a comparison between two states: dry Kansas and wet Nebraska. Already it was clear that prohibition wouldn’t work as intended, but it was voted into law anyway.
