Beer In Ads #453: Where Hospitality Is A Fine Art

October 12, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is from 1954, and is for Ballantine Ale. With the slogan “Where hospitality is a fine art it’s Ballantine Ale 4 to 1, I can’t help but think the art they’re using to illustrate that point could have been better. Ah, well, I guess everybody’s an art critic.
