Beer In Ads #449: Say O’K For O’Keefe’s

October 6, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Thursday’s ad is again from 1955, and is for another Canadian beer, this time O’Keefe’s Extra Old Stock Ale. The ad seems a little bit busy to me, with too much going on. Besides the sepia tone-like maple syrup farm background, there’s the floating label, below the “A Canadian Favourite” tagline, and the cartoon syrup farmer in the bottom right-hand corner. Then the bottom slogan, “Say O’K for O’Keefe’s.”

    When I heard a bagpipe group today on St. Patrick’s Day playing a certain melody, I was reminded of the “Say OK for O’Keefe’s” radio commercial in the 1950s, when I was growing up in Niagara Falls, NY. Do you have the entire lyrics of that singing commercial? It started with: “Say OK for O’Keefe’s Extra Old Stock Ale; say OK for O’Keefe’s every time without fail; etc.
