Budweiser (1950s)
This 1950’s Budweiser advertisement is truly an interesting one. First off, it points out the fact that wives were not included in their husbands’ poker night with “the boys,” yet they were the ones expected to keep the house stocked with beer and snacks. Second, it’s interesting that the company could run an ad that took credit for the wife’s good memory.

Hormel (1970s)
This Hormel ad from the 1970’s is a great example of how companies were marketing their products to fit the hard economic times of the decade. Hormel promised a meat-rich meal without a high price tag with their cans of Dinty Moore beef stew. To be honest, we think we actually prefer a meat free meal to this canned stuff, but who are we to judge.
