/ Blatz

Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/4" ad for Blatz Beer that asks the question "What made Milwaukee change it's mind?". The ad has drawings of a man from the turn of the century riding a big-wheel bike and carrying a bucket of suds as the caption says "Other times, other tastes". Then, there is another, more modern man riding his bicycle with a couple of six packs of Blatz in his front basket and, the caption here, says that "Today, it's Blatz". The text then says that "No doubt about...modern times and modern taste have changed Milwaukee's mind about beer. Gone are the days when America's beer capital could not agree on which beer was the finest. Now, year after year, Blatz is the largest-selling beer in Milwaukee...by far the favorite where nearly three-quarters of the country's wonderful premium beers are brewed. So wherever you are in this land of ours, lift a glass of Blatz tonight. When you do, you'll join the growing millions of Americans who sing: I'm from Milwaukee and I ought to know, it's Blatz, Blatz, Blatz wherever you go".
