Beer In Ads #418: Coming Home From A Day’s Hard Work

July 20, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is from 1941 for Schlitz, and is certainly a product of its time. Showing a housewife pouring glasses of Schlitz as her work-weary husband waves through the window as he walks home from work. The ad copy is great. “Coming home from a day’s hard work, it’s a truly happy husband who finds Schlitz at the evening meal!”

    A great period ad from the fourties. Let’s hope Schlitz tasted better then than it did years later!

    Cheers………………………….JD
