More Summer Fun: We're Just Here for the Beer

When it came to beer advertising in the 1950s, it was a veritable Schlitzfest for famous illustrators! More than any other purveyor of suds, Schlitz ads were brimming with art by some of the biggest names in the business. Here are just a few examples...

Jan Balet


Harry Fredman




Haddon Sundblom


(or if not Sunny himself, some of the talented artists of the Sundblom Circle)




Austin Briggs


Tom Hall





Tran Mawicke


Frederic (Fritz) Seibel


... and finally, John Falter (Remember his cartoony Sanka coffee ads from the beginning of this week?)


So, finishing where we started (sort of), let's go grab a cold one! Have a great weekend!
