The line "Good Taste even to the tips of her fingers" sets this advertisement apart by putting its appeal in a woman's refinement rather than in the beer itself. Blatz was a Milwaukee brewery whose roots date to 1851, and its Pilsener was marketed well beyond the city before Prohibition. Brewers of that era often courted respectable households by tying their drinks to polish and good taste, so the piece shows how beer advertising sought to reassure buyers. Worth noticing is that the words, more than the product, carry the message.
