Sunday’s ad is entitled Holiday Visitors, and the illustration was done in 1950 by Douglass Crockwell. It’s #50 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, friends and family are arriving, bearing gifts, for a Christmas party. It’s cold outside, but a fire going inside and a tray of beer waiting for them. Sounds like a party to me.
