Beer In Ads #432: Schlitz Is An Adventure

August 23, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is another Schlitz ad, this one from 1941, presumably before we entered World War 2 that December. In the ad, a man in a captain’s hat lounges on a tropic island as a native beauty arrives with a tray containing a bottle of Schlitz and a glass. You can see a ship anchored offshore in the distance. The tagline is awesome: “Schlitz is in an adventure in good living that’s within the reach of everyone.”
