Sunday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1942. This ad features yet another magic bottle of Miller High Life and a full pilsner glass along with a chess board. I think the bottle and glass might be pieces on the game.
Saturday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1941. This ad features several people driking beer at a picnic with illustration of a magic bottle and pilsner glass in the foreground.
Friday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1948. This ad features a framed illustration of an old village pub, with the pub sign reading “Miller High Life.”
Thursday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1942. This ad features another magic bottle of Miller High Life and a full pilsner glass along with a plate of snacks.
Wednesday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1941. This ad features a magic bottle of Miller High Life and a full pilsner glass surrounded by fishing gear.
Tuesday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1943. This ad from a Milwaukee Brewers’ game program and features a scene on a warm day at the ballpark. Who wouldn’t be thirsty in that situation?
Monday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1941. This ad features a drum majorette leading a marching band (yes, I’m a former marching band geek) in a parade. Presumably, the parade is in Milwaukee since the tagline at the bottom of the ad is “Welcome to Milwaukee.”
Sunday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1941. This ad features a fisherman in a boat drinking a Miller High Life. Like yesterday’s hunter, apparently outdoor activities are better with beer, and it’s certainly hard to argue with that. He definitely looks happy.
Saturday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1940. This ad features a man hunting pheasant, and he’s reaching out to his dog, who’s brought back his kill. Then the tagline reads. “Reach out for Finer Flavor!” I’m not sure that comparing reaching out for a beer is analogous to reaching out for a freshly killed bird, but what do I know?
Friday’s ad is for Budweiser, from 1948. This post-World War 2 ad features a crowded sea with a fishing board in the foreground and then the text segues into how ice and refrigeration brought the seafood the fishermen were catching into everybody’s homes.
