Beer In Ads #1935: The Bride’s First Dinner Party

June 7, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is entitled The Bride’s First Dinner Party, and the illustration was done in 1952 by Ray Prohaska. It’s #66 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 new couple is apparently having guests over to their new home for the very first time. The table is set, and the husband has delivered beers to their guests to soften them up. I think she’s whispering to him how well things are going so far. And that, undoubtedly thanks to the beer they’re giving their guests.
