		<description><![CDATA[Today is Robert &#8220;Mac&#8221; MacTarnahan&#8217;s birthday, one of Oregon&#8217;s most famous athletes.

		<description><![CDATA[Monday&#8217;s ad is for Falstaff cans from, given the pull tabs on the cans, the mid-to-late 1960s. I assume this was a football play on words. It&#8217;s a simple, clean ad, almost unusual for that time. I also like the tagline at the bottom of the ad. &#8220;Beer after beer, the choicest product of the [...]]]></description>

These two works of art were most likely used in beer advertising, though exactly when and for which brewery is a mystery.
