Beer In Ads #260: Happy Holidays Ahead, From Carling

December 8, 2010 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
Wednesday’s holiday ads are for Carling, both their Black Label and Red Cap beers. Both of the ads are from the 1950s. They show the same jolly fellow carrying home a case or two of beer in the snow and promising they’ll provide “Happy Holidays Ahead!” Frankly, he already looks so happy I believe him.

The second ad is for just Carling Black Label.
