Tuesday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1935. In this ad, they tell the story of Admiral George Dewey, who destroyed the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay in the Philippines in the spring of 1898, without a single American casualty. This was during the Spanish-American War. Apparently one of his rewards for this heroic feat was that the Schlitz office in Manila the next day delivered to Dewey and his crew 3600 bottles of Schlitz, one for every sailor who took part in the battle.
