This vintage hardwood frame measures 8 5/8 inches by 10 5/8 inches and holds an original 6 inch by 8 3/4 inch Coca-Cola print ad, which appeared in National Geographic Magazine. According to the glass covered printed ad, America’s favorite meeting place is the soda fountain, at least by 1939 standards.
What stands out is how formally the young couple is dressed. He’s in a white suite, blue tie and blue handkerchief in his suit pocket, and holding onto his white hat. She’s wearing a fancy dress with jacket and has a straw hat on her head. The bottom right hand side of the ad features the soda jerk; the young man all decked out in his white uniform and soda jerk cap, dispensing Coca-Cola. A sign on the back wall reads, Thirst Stops Here. The last line of the ad tells us that Coca-Cola is the Pause That Refreshes.
All of the printed words on the ad are intact and complete. The picture is in fine condition, with the exception of wear to the soda jerk character.
