CELEBRITY ADS: EDDIE CANTOR

One of my favorite old time radio shows was The Eddie Cantor radio show. By the 1940s, Cantor was known more for his radio shows than his movie career which had slowed down since he left Samuel Goldwyn. His long time sponsor was Pabst Blue Ribbon, and every time I see that beer in a bar I think of Eddie Cantor. Here are two great print ads from 1947...

    Thanks for sharing those great ads. I still remember my mother singing the Pabst Blue Ribbon jingle (What'll you have? Pabst Blue Ribbon...). In the past few years it has made somewhat of a comeback, and I have enjoyed a few cans of it when I have eaten in restaurants that serve it.
