Coca-Cola was a favorite beverages when towns that have grown big were little towns. ☙ Coca-Cola became a national favorite because it was created to please taste and satisfy thirst. ☙ Sweet with the natural, nutritious sweetness of pure cane sugar— ☙ Its distinct flavor a perfect blend of choicest savors— ☙ Appealing to the eye with the rich, dark amber color of caramel and the lively bubbles of pure, sparkling water that come to a bead at the top— ☙ Coca-Cola is an inimitable combination of good things that nature has made good in the sunshine of nine different climes, nine different countries, that is poured into a single glass and placed before you, wherever you may be when you answer the call of thirst.
Drink Coca-Cola: Delicious and Refreshing. ~The Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta, Ga., "The Little Town that Grows Big Men," 1921 advertisement
