Beer In Ads #280: Miss Rheingold’s Snowball Fight

January 3, 2011 By Jay Brooks

ad-billboard
Monday’s ad for is Rheingold beer from 1949, featuring Miss Rheingold for that year, Pat McElroy. With a broad smile on her face she’s threatening us with a snowball, and with at least one in reserve by her left hand. I’m not sure if her little dog, too, is part of her strategy, but I’m not picking a fight with Pat.

      This is my Aunt. My mother Madeline McElroy married Dutch O’neill. She always spoke kindly of Pat. My mother was a looker also.

    I was the last elected Miss Rheingold (1964) and would love to have anyone who has memories of the contest of relatives involved contact me as I am doing a book on Miss Rheingold as a retrospective from 1964 all the way back to 1940 when it started.

    FYI I have a Miss Rheingold Facebook page to share with you all http://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Rheingold-Fan-Page/105050609556480
