The image, dated circa 1939, features an uncomplicated brick wall adorned with the bold and simple phrase, "What we want is Watneys." The advertisement, which appears to have been intended for annual buyers' guides or similar publications, is a testament to the powerful branding and marketing strategies of the time. The illustration, created by the talented hands of Kleboe and Franklin, masterfully captures the essence of the 1930s and the 30s advertising art. The use of clean lines, bold typography, and a minimalist design speaks to the clarity and directness of the message, while the muted color palette adds to the timeless and nostalgic feel.
