Sunday’s ad is for “Hamm’s,” from 1965. 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 shows two beer mugs, one filled with beer and the other containing a photo of a canoe on a pristine lake, with the tagline “The Picture of Freshness.” It’s very similar to a double-truck ad I shared in October.
