Circa 1920 (TOC) Tin over Cardboard advertising sign for an Anheuser Busch Prohibition era soft drink. Competitor to the Bevo Beverage brand they also sold at this time.

Nick Ems Brewing Company Cardboard Sign with his EMS Beer Brand. Mr. Ems named the brewery after himself and the beer too.

Wood beer crates for EMS beer are still found quite regularly in the surrounding St. Louis Marketplace.
