Tuesday’s ad is entitled Getting Ready For Christmas, and the illustration was done in 1948 by Douglass Crockwell. It’s #24 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, the womenfolk are preparing to wrap all of the Christmas presents while the men sit, smiling and drinking beer. Hopefully they’re at least cheering them on so they;re not completely useless.
