Beer In Ads #433: Schlitz For A Bonnet

August 24, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is also for Schlitz, from 1952, and it shows a devious housewife bringing a Schlitz to her newspaper-reading husband. She’s glancing back at us with a knowing smile as she prepares to soften the blow of the new chapeau she’s just bought at the “Bonnet Shop” by serving him a beer. Nice.
