  1. I have an original magazine ad for Coca-Cola. Circa 1944. Have a “Coke”= How are things goin’ ? . . . or being friendly in Newfoundland. Does anyone have an idea what it’s worth?

  2. Where could I get a copy of a early 1960’s to late 1950’s Coke Poster? My Cousin was on one of the Poster’s and I would love to have a copy.
    Thank you

  3. America’s Real Choice,” while by 1986, two slogans were used to differentiate the brands, with “Red, White You” for Coca-Cola classic and “Catch the Wave” for Coca-Cola.

  13. I think Coca cola is one of the most famous soft drink all over the world and it is one of the my best soft drink.

  14. Hey. Where did you find those pictures? Me and some friends have to do a presentation about Coca-Cola and we need some documents. We would like an analysis of those ads, do you know wher could we find it? And if you know something else about Coca, please tell us! 🙂

  15. Coke has always done a very effective job of advertising. They know how to pull on your sentimental strings.

  16. I have an original poster on card board, which was normally displayed at shops selling coke, with a lady with dark hair, in a circle, holding a bottle of coke. The wording So Refreshing is at the top of the poster and in the bottom is Drink Coca Cola. Do you know from which year – my quess is prior to 1960

  17. This is simply Great. I find this series of Coke fascinating. THERE’S ONLY ONE COKE The Best ever THANK YOU

  18. It seems like coca-cola company had always perfect marketers and developers. Coca-cola advertise and ads are looking great in 1889 also.

  24. great old ones, but it’s missing some of new ones like coke side of life

  25. Looks like your question thing at the end of the post worked. Also not having to sign in is nice too. Good job.

  26. I made a report about Coca Cola and this article gave me an image of how it is being developed through.
    Get your Coke anywhere for 5 cents, right 🙂

  27. I am sorry to inform you of this, but you have some things wrong.. The first picture is NOT in 1889. That is of Lillian Norton Nordica who did not work for Coca-Cola until 1903. She was their second famous model. This is from a Coca-Cola advertisement about 1905. Then down the page a bit you have it listed at 1900 which is not correct either. That is Hilda Clark the first model Coca Cola used on their advertisement tins. This painting is likely about 1895. She quit when she married a millionaire in 1903. So you might want to change those around. Hilda did indeed start working for C-C in 1889 but that is not when, according to most, say this painting was done The one with the green outfit and the hat with the white fluffy feathers on it..The first picture was taken in 1903 of Lillian Norton Nordica but was not used as a tin until 1905.I have the original photo this was taken from too. You may or may not know this but those are very famous Coca Cola ladies that you would want to get correct in order to make your site more trust worthy. Lillian died ultimately as a result of a shipwreck in 1914. It took her awhile but she never recovered from it.

    1. “…Lillian died ultimately as a result of a shipwreck in 1914. It took her awhile but she never recovered from it….”

      How does someone recover from dying?

    2. I bet she did not recover from it “It took her awhile but she never recovered from it”. Thanks for the information wondering how valid your info is.

  28. Hey… enjoyed the adds so much !! However, I have a framed coke add… the one advertised here as one from the 1900. Is it worth something now !!! Thanks so much.

  29. Looks like your question thing at the end of the post worked. Also not having to sign in is nice too. Good job. Nice list. Thanks.

  30. Great work. A lot of effort and a valuable record. Congratulations and very well done.
