Beer In Ads #2826: The Minuteman Is Still The Man Of The Hour

November 16, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Friday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1944. This World War 2 ad features a colonial minuteman standing vigilantly in a field behind a team of oxen as a young boy points to where the trouble is. The ad claims that “The Minuteman is Still the Man of the Hour,” comparing them to the soldiers of the day fighting in World War 2. Sure, why not.
