Beer In Ads #676: Oysters and Lobsters

August 20, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1948, featuring the Wells Fargo express and the curious notion that they became successful by delivering oysters and lobsters far inland. That apparently showed people that there was a need for express delivery service. A-B in turn, consider that a “Great Contribution to Good Taste,” and compared that to what they were doing delivering beer in refrigerated cars in 1948.
