I thought I would go ahead and post a couple of old newspaper ads featuring Gunther Beer from the Historical Baltimore Sun. Unfortuately I can only post the link to the document oppossed to actually posting the document on my blog because I don't know how to do that. I really wish I could actually post them on this blog but the images are PDF files so it's impossible to copy and paste them. So all stundents will need to use their Library Card number to view these old newspaper ads. The first one is just really neat to look at and compare to today's beer advertisments.

This newspaper ad is also really cool because it was published in 1933 when prohibition ended. According to the newspaper ad Gunther Beer was in high demand and couldn't supply Baltimore customers fast enough. This ad supports how popular the beer was to the city and how happy they were to have their beloved beer back. On the bottom of the ad it says "Brewed and Bottled in Baltimore since 1881." So now I know when the brewery was first established! http://proquest.umi.com.proxy-ub.researchport.umd.edu/pqdweb?index=5&did=1671037252&SrchMode=1&sid=2&Fmt=10&VInst=PROD&VType=PQD&RQT=309&VName=HNP&TS=1260505767&clientId=41152
