Beer In Ads #999: We Always Expect Unexpected Guests

October 16, 2013 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is for Schlitz, again from 1947. The post-war ads shows a young couple in a suburban setting receiving a guest, but with a bag of loose beer bottles, to make sure they’re prepared for just such an event. I guess their local store was out of six-pack carriers.
