Beer In Ads #3718: Coors Glamour Gal

May 6, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Thursday’s ad is for “Coors Beer,” from the 1890s or early 1900s. This ad was made for the Coors Brewing Co., who did not do as much advertising as their competitors. In part, this was because they were not sold nationwide until the 1980s. This one also may have been from a calendar Coors produced, or was possibly a stand-alone poster, and again features, as was common at the time, a Gibson Girl, which was “the personification of the feminine ideal of physical attractiveness as portrayed by the pen-and-ink illustrations of artist Charles Dana Gibson during a 20-year period that spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States. The artist saw his creation as representing the composite of “thousands of American girls.”
