Beer In Ads #1358: No Wonder It’s … Again

October 29, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Wednesday’s ad is another one for Schlitz, also from 1950. This is from a series of billboard ads from around the same time I stumbled upon, though I’m sure the originals in color are more spectacular, though in case I’m a little glad it’s in black and white. In this ad for Schlitz, they’re advertising with a football player, agin using the tagline “No wonder it’s … The Beer that made Milwaukee famous.” I still don’t quite understand it, but I did discover it was designed by a well-known ad man at the time, Howard Scott.
