White Rock is best known as a mineral water bottled at a spring in British Columbia, and this advertisement puts its distinctive bottle front and center, set in an ice bucket as if chilling for a party. Advertisers of the early and mid-twentieth century often used this kind of staged still life to suggest sophistication and refreshment, linking a simple mixer to cocktail hour and entertaining at home. Look closely at how the cool, sparkling tones of the bottle and ice are meant to read as crisp and clean, a visual shorthand that bottled water and soda makers relied on heavily.
