Beer In Ads #1988: Dad Rehearses His Speech

July 30, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is entitled Dad Rehearses His Speech, and the illustration was done in 1956 by Douglass Crockwell. It’s #119 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. This is the final ad in the series. In this ad, Dad Rehearses His Speech while his wife and kids have to endure hearing it for the umpteenth time. I assume the beer must be helping.
