| In 1948 a young lady met a photographer and he gave her his card. A year later she needed money and called him asking if she could model. He did - he was doing a photo shoot for a poster advertising PABST BLUE RIBBON BEER. Sometime later a Chicago calendar manufacturer had seen the posters and wanted some "tasteful nude shots". The photos were taken and the young lady was paid $50.00. This lead to exposure and a picture in Life magazine, movies, and even Playboy. The young lady was "Marilyn Monroe". |
| In 1962, Pittsburgh Brewing sold a "Tub-of-Beer". It was a cardboard container shaped like wooden barrel with a plastic liner and held 24 cans with ice added when needed. |
| W. C. Fields said "Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water". Prohibition didn't end in Mississippi until 1966. Dr. Thomas Lushington was a heavy drinking English chaplain in the 1600'x. His reputation as a drunk was so great that the "City of Lushington", a London drinking club, was named in his honor. The club's inebriated clientele inspired the word "LUSH". |
