Print, Photographic

One black and white photographic print of three individuals on a sound stage filming a commercial to advertise Stroh's beer. The man behind the camera is wearing a white dress shirt and an earpiece over this right ear. In front of the camera is a man in a suit with matching argyle socks and a tie. He is siting on a chair with his legs crossed and right hand up toward the camera. He appears to be talking. Next to the chair is a two tier end table that features a slender lamp on the upper tier and a glass bottle of Stroh's beer and footed pilsner glass of beer on the lower tier. Behind the man are four framed illustrations of early motor vehicle hanging on a brick wall. Underneath the photographs is a three shelf bookshelf that holds a potted plant on the top shelf. The middle and bottom shelves are empty. On the right of the image is a boom operator standing tall on the microphone boom base. In the right corner there are six empty footed pilsner glass stored upside down on a towel. Hanging from the ceiling are three boxes that read "Kliegl Bros. ABC WXYZ-TV."
