Beer In Ads #1926: Treasures From The Auction

May 29, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Sunday’s ad is entitled Treasures From the Auction, and the illustration was done in 1951 by John Gannam. It’s #57 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 couple shows up at one of their parents’ homes laden down with crap they apparently just acquired at an auction. And while there hands are full, that’s not the half of it. On the street behind them, another person is unloading even more, and larger, crap from a station wagon. Mom and Dad will be thrilled.
