Beer In Ads #712: Blatz Lawn Mower

October 10, 2012 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Blatz Beer, from 1953. The ad shows a man sitting on lobster red riding mower, as his comely wife, in shorts and Italian tablecloth shirt, serves him a Blatz beer; a true lawnmower beer, apparently. I love that he’s wearing tasseled loafers and argyle socks to mow the lawn, because that’s what I always wear, too.
