Beer In Ads #891: Good Living At The Beach

May 20, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Schlitz, from the 1955. It’s one of their “Know the real joy of good living …” series of ads, shows a couple at the beach, though they don’t actually look anywhere near sand or a spot where they could get onto the water. All I see are high, rocky cliffs. Maybe that’s why, despite the towel around his neck, they’re both bone dry.

    You can’t take glass to the beach. What were they thinking?

    It’s probably all faked – looks to me like a cropped shot of the couple layered over the seaside scene. However, there are places on the Big Island in Hawaii where that could be plausible – I have friends over there who live very close to such a place (but the view is of open ocean vice a finger peninsula across the water).
