Thursday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from the 1950s. This ad features a man fishing from a rowboat, beer in one hand, fishing pole in the other. The fish seems way to happy.

Wednesday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1962. This ad features a hunting party taking aim at a pheasant in the top illustration, with the tagline, “Same good taste everywhere!” In the bottom photo, they’re back home in somebody’s rec room. One of them has drained his beer while the other is nursing his. Not sure what to make of that. One of them was lucky, and the other wasn’t?

Monday’s ad is for Miller Brewing, from 1939. This ad features a man out hunting with his dog. I know he’s staring off at the sky, most likely looking for his prey, but I can’t help but think it also looks like he’s looking at me (or us), too, in a vaguely threatening manner. It’s a little unsettling, but then I remembered it’s 79 years old and he’s probably dead now, so I probably shouldn’t be too worried.
