Beer In Ads #3768: A Chain Is No Stronger Than Its Weakest Link

June 25, 2021 By Jay Brooks

Friday’s ad is for “Rainier Beer,” from 1917. This ad was made for the Seattle Brewing & Malting Co., who made Rainier Beer, and was later known as the Rainier Brewing Company of Seattle, Washington. This one shows a chain and the text begins by quoting an old proverb. “A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.” And then mentions that “Every link in the process of brewing” and each one is labeled with a part of the brewing process.
