Beer In Ads #1931: Thanksgiving Dinner

June 3, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is entitled Thanksgiving Dinner, and the illustration was done in 1951 by Douglass Crockwell. It’s #62 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, it’s another recycled Thanksgiving ad that they used before, but I guess they figured out that holiday was pretty easy to tie into beer, so they just kept hammering the same message each year.
