Beer In Ads #2830: When Ice Went On Wheels

November 20, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for Budweiser, from the 1940s. This ad features the story of how in 1878 Anheuser-Busch began using trains with ice cars to keep their beer cold during transportation. But the image is more art deco than 19th century. The train is certainly more modern and the ice queen throwing giant snowflakes from her bucket of ice.
