More old ads I found…
I don’t think they even make Schlitz anymore… Anyway, today it would be ordering a pizza…
Gotta love the double entendres in both of these! The one on the left almost looks like a Vargas Girl.
Umm, not so much anymore… Not quite legal, even if they DO work… Of course the withdrawals are worse than the cough to start with…
Here’s a Vargas from the 1920s, Ziegfeld hung his painting of Olive Thomas at the theater, and she was thought of as one of the earliest Vargas Girls.
Projection, yes.
But who is Sabrina? A quick googling shows the following.

And what should not be a surprise, a site devoted to her.

The illustration for the Rigid Tool poster is by George Petty. He did an entire line of art for them.

RIDGID Tool still puts out some outstanding calendars
Love the Schlitz poster. The first half of the 20th century had many poster that would light off a schlitz-storm today. Ahhh for the good old days.
+1.
Ah, Vargas!
With women with legs twice the length of normal women…
I was always partial to Frank Frazetta, myself.

Schlitz is still sold, mainly in ghettos, where the 40 ouncer is a go-to beverage for the inner city crowd.
Vargas girls are works of art and are genuinely “wordless”.
As a kid I can’t remember one farm shop without a wall of Vargas girl posters in it. They were much revered.
I enjoy the Vargas and other classic pin-ups whenever I find them. yea, I’m a girl. But the art is usually lovely, and there’s suggestion and playfulness and a sense of fun in much of the art. Unlike so many so-called glamor pictures today.
Ilive in Elyria, world HQ of Ridgid Tool. The Calendar is an annual tradition!
It’s critical to have a rigid tool, and the calendar that goes with it.
