Seven-Up, the lemon-lime soft drink created in St. Louis in 1929 by Charles Leiper Grigg, is the subject here, and this magazine advertisement pitches it not to adults but to the whole household under the slogan "The All-Family Drink." Two boys sharing popcorn are shown as the core audience, a deliberate choice that tied the soda to everyday family snacking rather than to the cocktail hour the gallery's wine and spirits heading might suggest. Mid-century print ads like this one often leaned on wholesome domestic scenes to shift a beverage out of the saloon and into the living room, which is worth noticing when comparing it with the alcohol advertising around it on the board.
