| Black and white 5" x 13" ad that is for Pabst Export Beer. The ad, first, has a drawing of a man skiing down a slope, smiling, as he spies a bottle of Pabst Export Beer over his skiis. The ad headline says that is "So cooling when you say Pabst". The ad then says that "When the sun beats down, Pabst is a satisfying all day companion. Here's a beer you can depend upon - a beer that has its refreshment, purity and wholesomeness brewed into it by ninety-three years of experience. At work - at mealtime - or at play - there's a heap of cooling comfort ready for you the moment you pour yourself a delicious drink of Pabst from the famous TapaCan or handy new style bottle". This is right next to a copy of their famous TapiCan. |

| Black and white 9 3/4" x 13 3/4" ad that is for Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. This ad has a drawing of a very happy man who is pointing towards his glass of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer as he turns back towards the reader with the claim that it is "Blended 33 Times to Make One Great Beer". The sub-headline says that "It Takes 33 Seperate Brews to Make a Single Glass of This Delicious Beer!". The text then says that "As thousands of beer lovers set down a cool, clear of Pabst Blue Ribbon, they say" 'Gosh, how do they do it'. Well, one swift answer is...33 Blends...Not one, or two, or five, but 33 seperate 'brews' from 33 seperate kettles. Each brew is as fine as choicest ingredients and Pabst's 96 years of experience can make it. But brewing is a natural process, and Nature never yields two brews that are exactly alike, even with the same formula and strict scientific control. That's why Pabst goes to so much extra work and expense to bring together 33 seperate brews in perfect blend - dictated by the Blue Ribbon formula. As in the finest champagnes, coffee, tobacco, it's expertly balanced blending that gives Blue Ribbon its unvarying goodness. The result is: America's Premium Beer...with a smoothness that is unique...and a taste that is always the same...Sometime today, have the pleasure of meeting Blue Ribbon". There is a box over to the right that gives the "5 Reasons why its America's Premium Beer". They are "1 - Only Pabst insures quality through complete processing of all grains - uses none malted or milled by others. 2 - 96 Years of brewing fine beer...over 20 billion glasses! 3 - First to introduce brewing of true lager beer to Milwaukee (1851). 4 - 28 Scientists guard every step from grain to glass...grow the pure culture yeast used exclusively by Pabst. 5 - Blended 33 Times...for flavor, for smoothness, for unvarying goodness". |

In the first frame it shows a man, weary from unloading his items from the moving truck, and his new neighbor looks over at him. In the second frame it shows him saying to the old man, "Moving's a nightmare! I'm so tired I'd trade everything for a glass of beer". The neighbor, standing on the other side of the fence and holding a pipe, says "Easy there, neighbor! We were just hoping you'd join us in a sandwich and a glass of '33 to 1'". In the third frame, they are all sitting down and refreshed and the man moving in says, "This is mighty friendly of you, Jones. But what's the '33 to 1' about?". The man, holding up two bottles of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, says "It's Pabst Blue Ribbon...33 fines brews blended to make one great beer! You've got a treat coming". In the fourth frame, the new man is happy and he says "Say! This is the only good thing that's happened all day. Smoothest beer I've ever tasted". The old man, with a smile on his face, responds "That's because it's blended like fine coffee and champagne. I hope you'll enjoy it with us often". In the fifth and final frame, the two new people are unpacking in their bedroom and the wife says to her husband "Did you ever know such friendly neighbors? She asked me to meet her friends at luncheon". The man responds, "That Jones is a grand fellow. He certainly deserves a blue ribbon for his hospitality". In the lower right hand side of this ad, it shows the old man saying that "It pays to follow the '33 to 1' Good Neighbor Policy. You win a Blue Ribbon for friendliness every time!". The ad then says that "When you serve Pabst Blue Ribbon, your guests enjoy something found in no other beer: a blend of 33 fine brews to make one single glass! Like the finest champagne, or your favorite coffee, it's expertly blended to make it SMOOTHER...TASTIER...ALWAYS THE SAME! Today - give your neighbor a Blue Ribbon treat. Let him discover how delicious a beer can be when it's blended '33 to 1'". |

| Three color 9 1/2" x 13" ad for the Identifiable Taste of Pabst Beer. The picture shows a lady adorned with a Blue Blindfold tasting different glasses of beer. As she tastes the glass containing Pabst she slides her tongue across her teeth and pronounces "This one has the touch!". The text asks if you know the reason that the taste of Pabst is distinguishable from "America's two or three other great beers" and attributes it to the Pabst Blue Ribbon Touch. It is hard to quantify that statement but they do claim that it will not haze even when it is chilled to drinking temperature. |

The text says that "Judging by what a lot of people tell us, the Pabst Blue Ribbon we're brewing today has the modern beer taste that most people prefer. This is the happy result of putting many good things together with our own special touch. We call it the Pabst Blue Ribbon Touch (PBRT). It makes a subtle but unmistakable difference.
