A boy and a carved jack-o'-lantern share the frame in this Coca-Cola advertisement, which sets the picture apart from the bottle and fountain-glass views that dominate the drinks holdings. The pairing of a child with a glowing pumpkin points to Halloween, a holiday that Coca-Cola's illustrators and print advertisers leaned on heavily in the early and mid twentieth century to place the brand in seasonal, family settings. Such magazine and poster ads were meant to be cut out, pinned up, and remembered, so they tell us as much about the everyday domestic life and holiday customs of their era as they do about the soft drink itself.
