Beer In Ads #462: Pleasant Memories of Olden Times

October 25, 2011 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is another one for Schlitz, this one from from 1937. The image used is somewhat odd. It looks like a tavern in colonial America but drinking from ceramic German steins. The tagline, “Pleasant Memories of Olden Times,” is followed by “Schlitz in ‘Steinies'” I assume they’re trying to connect the old steins with the new steinies, which were created to compete with the popular beer cans.
