It was made in 1962 and I'm guessing was a promotional piece that Schlitz would give to Tropical or Hawaiian themed bars that served beer as well as tropical drinks. Or maybe they were just responding to the popularity of all things Tiki and Hawaiian at the time. I just love the juxtaposition of " The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous" and the sexy gal on the beach leaning against a PALM tree! I mean, Milwaukee!!! I also like the barrel of Schlitz that has washed ashore. [ Edited by: boutiki on 2004-01-12 20:16 ]
