Wednesday’s ad is entitled Around The Swimming Pool, and the illustration was done in 1948 by John Gannam. It’s #18 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 large backyard party seems to be in full swing. Based on the title, it’s a pool party, though it looks more like a pond than a swimming pool to me.
