Beer In Ads #2060: Head Of The Table

October 11, 2016 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Schlitz, from 1941. In this ad, oddly about class, it’s really about how we call beer an “affordable luxury,” although the way they say it as a little different. “Not everyone can own the finest pearl, or drive the costliest car. But America’s most distinguished beer is within the reach of everybody. Here, indeed, is democracy in a bottle!”
