Friday’s ad is entitled Do-It-Yourself Decorators, and the illustration was done in 1956 by Pruett Carter. It’s #118 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, two couples are Do-It-Yourself Decorators and appear to be fans of artist Piet Mondrian. Because it looks like they’re following one of his paintings and using to make a rug matching it. How much beer have they been drinking?
