Roosevelt’s first 100 days, the package

There are a lot of comparisons being made between the first 100 days of Franklin Roosevelt and that of Barack Obama. It is interesting to note that one of Roosevelt’s first accomplishments was the lifting of Prohibition in the Spring of 1933. This led to the introduction of Krueger’s Beer and Ale, shown above, from the Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company. These became one of the earliest examples of the beer can package.
