Description
Full color 10″ x 13″ ad for what was called “Milwaukee’s First Bottled Beer”. There is a picture of a partially filled bottle of Blatz on a green-covered table next to two filled glasses and, under glass protection, an earthenware beer bottle from the 19th century that was discovered while excavating for the new Blatz bottling plant. The headline is one of the goals of the founder, Valentin Blatz, who said “I am determined to be the first Brewer in Milwaukee to Bottle Beer”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
