This advertisement takes its headline from the proverb "one good turn deserves another," a play on words that fits the old habit of selling beer as a friendly, neighborly reward. Pabst Blue Ribbon was brewed in Milwaukee, a city whose brewing industry shaped its identity, and the brand grew into one of the country's best-known beers over the twentieth century. Ads like this one show how brewers tried to tie their product to everyday pleasures like conversation, leisure and a shared drink after work. Notice how the copy and layout aim for warmth rather than hard sales.
