Beer In Ads #2315: Be Light-Hearted, Fancy Do

June 22, 2017 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is for Carling’s Red Cap Ale, from 1952. In this ad, part of another series featuring the tagline “Be Light-Hearted!,” another couple is toasting with two glasses of beer. They’re also both wearing gray, to camouflage themselves from their surroundings, him in a tuxedo and she’s wearing pearls. Must have been a fancy do.
