Beer In Ads #2843: This One Time At Band Camp

December 3, 2018 By Jay Brooks


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.”
