Beer In Ads #448: Victory Isn’t Always To The Strong

October 5, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is also from 1955, and is for the Canadian beer, Molson Golden Ale. Their anthropomorphized mascot, — “Goldie” — a man with the head of a lion, says modestly that “Victory isn’t always to the strong.” Based on his expression, and the happy-looking woman next to him, I’d say he’s getting beat pretty bad at bowling.

    Looks like Leo, the M-G-M mascot has been slumming. Still a fine example of 1950’s commercial painting.
