Wednesday’s ad is entitled After a Day in the Snow, and the illustration was done in 1947 by John Gannam. It’s #11 in a series entitled “Home Life in America,” also known as the Beer Belongs series of ads that the United States Brewers Foundation ran from 1945 to 1956. In this ad, a group of eleven people are crowded into a living room, all busy and doing something. Maybe it’s just me, but after a day in the snow I’d want to take a nap. They seem way too peppy. Must be the beer.
