Wedesday’s ad is for “Hamm’s,” from 1954. This ad was made for Hamm’s Brewing, which was founded in 1865 by Theodore Hamm in St. Paul, Minnesota. At its peak, it was the 5th largest brewery in America, and operated facilities in five cities, including San Francisco, L.A., Baltimore and Houston, in addition to the original brewery in Minnesota. This one features a beer being poured into a glass and “m-m-m-Hamms!” written over the pour. Then there’s the requisite lake scene background, with the tagline: “Holiday Refreshment! from the land of sky blue waters … Hamm’s the beer refreshing … refreshing as the land is comes from!”
