Monday’s ad is for “Hamm’s,” from the early 1900s. 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 group of seven gentlemen drinking in what appears to be a beer cellar, with the tagline: “Hamm’s Beer Leads Them All.”
