Although I wouldn't have minded some of that original Rainier Beer advertised on that billboard.
TANGENTIAL EDIT: No wonder Rainier was eager to promote its beer in 1917. The year before, alcohol was prohibited in Rainier's Washington home (Wikipedia):
Alcoholic beverages were outlawed in Washington state in 1916 and the Rainier brand was sold to a San Francisco, California company. Four years later, alcoholic beverages were outlawed nationwide. Following the repeal of prohibition, the brewery was purchased by Lethbridge, Alberta brewers Fritz and Emil Sick, who then repurchased the Rainier brand and began brewing Rainier in 1935. The brewery went through several names, such as Sick's Seattle Brewing and Malting and Sicks Rainier Brewing Company, during the 1935–1977 period.
[...]Rainier Brewing Company resumed producing "Rainier Beer" after the end of Prohibition and its advertisements became ubiquitous in the Seattle-Tacoma area[...]
