Blatz Serving Tray

M2007.063.386
Date Unknown

Rectangular metal serving tray. Faux wood background with blue oval. Inside of the oval is a bottle of Blatz Beer. Upper right corner is gold text that reads:”The Beverage-of-Quality.
Lower right corner has gold text that reads, “Made by Blatz Milwaukee” Backside is black.

Serving trays were just one way of breweries being able to market their product. The usage of catchy slogans, pictures of beautiful women, and colorful pictures were all successful in switching allegiances of customers
from one brand of beer to another.
