Description

Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad that is entitled Amateur Magician, drawn by John Gannam and is Number 47 in the series “Home Life In America. The drawing in this ad shows an evening where three couples are enjoying an evening together with beer and entertainment. It seems to be quite joyful for each of them. The text begins by saying that “Beer belongs…enjoy it” and then says that “In this home-loving land of ours…in this America of kindliness, of friendship, of good-humored tolerance…perhaps no beverages are more “at home” on more occasions than good American beer and ale. For beer and ale are the kinds of beverages Americans like. They belong – to pleasant living, to good fellowship, to sensible moderation. And our right to enjoy them, this too belongs – to our own American heritage of personal freedom”.
