Friday’s ad is for Schaefer Beer, “first produced in New York City during 1842 by the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company.” This ad, from 1947, features Austrian-born American film actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr (which after Blazing Saddles reminds of Harvey Korman’s character repeating correct people with “that’s Hedley Lamarr”). Anyway, she’s holding an almost finished glass of beer and staring back at us with the tagline “Finest Beer I Ever Tasted.”
