The large sign is approximately 36″ by 18″ and is made of thick cardboard.  Signs like this one would have been displayed inside of a tavern, hotel, or beer distributor to advertising Neuweiler products to patrons; it could have also been displayed inside of a bus. The graphics on this screen-printed cardboard sign depict Beer Bottles being opened in a line with the typography that reads “Nix-Besser”, “Bottle After Bottle”, and “Beer Great Today-and Tomorrow Too!”. The phrase “Nix Besser” in German which translates to “None Better” and was commonly used by the Neuweiler brewery’s advertising efforts and as well as a tagline.
