This advertisement puts the brand's name and its promise of purity front and center, the two ideas Pabst built its marketing around. Pabst Blue Ribbon was brewed in Milwaukee, a city whose brewing trade grew from its German immigrant community. Purity claims like this one were common in beer advertising in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when brewers wanted to reassure customers about cleanliness at a time of growing public concern over food and drink. The wording also reflects the period's emphasis on wholesome, trustworthy products sold under a recognizable name.
