Friday’s ad is from Pabst, from 1903. Many brewers made other related products besides beer, notably malt extract, to be used primarily in cooking as an ingredient in breads and desserts and even as a tonic.

Malt can be further processed to produce liquid or dried sweeteners called Malt Extracts.” They were essentially “the original starch- or grain-based sweetener.” Many brewers survived prohibition making malt extract, both for legal uses and for homebrewing, but Pabst was making and advertising decades before. In this ad, titled simply “Strength” I love how they’ve made a barbell out of holding two bottles of Pabst Malt Extract, raising to the sky. It’s just that strong, I guess.

I know when I worked retail, we always held back stock for the shelves (racks in our case) so that people could come in and pick one up to buy it. Keeping product out of potential customer’s hands seems pretty stupid.
