Beer In Ads #677: Frank Jones Brewery & Malt Houses

August 21, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Tuesday’s ad is for an old New Hampshire brewer, Frank Jones, and this is one of those popular illustrations that so many breweries created before, and around, the turn of the last century. This one shows “a beer train led by the 4-4-0 ‘Gov. Weston’ stops at the Frank Jones Brewery — which was founded in 1859 by Frank Jones, who became president of the Boston & Maine in 1889 — in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.”
