It has been a popular, favorite for years. But these advertisements did have to live up to the Blue Ribbon reputation. How different. We could not do" justice to a celebrated brewing standard by an ordinary line of talk, by bragging" or by startling revelations of brewing secrets be cause there are none. When reading any beer advertisement, a bottle of Blue Ribbon on the side will enlighten you considerably without words or pictures or exclamation marks. A refined, cultured weman, after a sip of Blue Ribbon, had exclaimed in our hearing, "And I thought I didn't like beer." We knew the real hearty "Friend for Forty Years," in fact, several of him. We knew a lot of good, sane, substantial people who said good things about Blue Ribbon. When we put them into this advertising free of wordy claims and scientific excelsior wc found thousands the country over who dupli cated these pleasant experiences with the beer that always comes in crystal-clear bottles to show its amber purity. The advertisements told the simple truth. The first became famous in a day. All made thousands read between the lines the half-century-long story ofPabst perfection which sparkles up at you from every wholesome glass of Blue Ribbon. oflimcg' MnIfeIh).(Mii ike Beer of Quality F.
