Beer In Ads #2834: From Glaciers To Gliders

November 24, 2018 By Jay Brooks


Saturday’s ad is for Budweiser, from around 1944. This World War 2 ad features A-B’s Refrigeration Department again, and how they took the technology to keep food and beer cold, and fresher, and repurposed it to work on “glider wing and fuselage assemblies for the Army Air Forces.”

Bud-1940s-glaciers

Above is the biggest version of this ad I could find, but below it’s a little clearer.

Bud-1940s-glaciers-2

Although this black and white ad below has the best resolution.
