Monday’s ad is entitled Love at First Sight, and the illustration was done in 1955 by Haddon Sundblom. It’s #107 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, someone brought a basket full of puppies to a backyard party. I suspect the owner is now plying them with beer in the hopes that the guests will drink enough that they’ll take one of the puppies home with them.
