Beer In Ads #1835: Facts Versus Fallacies #51

February 28, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is another one for the Pennsylvania State Brewers Association, from 1916, No. 51 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 “51,” is all about a comparison between making owning a car illegal and the prohibition of alcohol.
