Abstract: The collection consists of some items relating to 20th-century advertising from the Falstaff Brewing Company. The oldest artifact is an undated oversize (about 2 feet by 3 feet) cloth hanging advertisement that makes fun of Germans and German terms. The most recent dated artifact is a 1964 aerial shot of a Falstaff plant located in New York. Bulk of the collection runs from 1957-1960, meticulously documenting various cans, bottles and cartons. Frustratingly, several oversize photos are included in which NO person's name is recorded. Also an original full-color cartoon.
