Beer In Ads #1936: Amateur Fortune Teller

June 8, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is entitled Amateur Fortune Teller, and the illustration was done in 1952 by Douglass Crockwell. 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 woman put on a scarf, sat down at a table and began reading palms. Luckily, the beer probably helps with their gullibility.
