Coca-Cola's pitch to tired city workers takes center stage in this advertisement, which pairs its message with a streetcar scene, a common sight in American cities in the early twentieth century. The title, "Travelers' Fatigue," suggests the ad promised that a cold Coca-Cola could revive a weary commuter or shopper at the end of a long day. The brand, first mixed in Atlanta in 1886, grew into a national name in part through advertising like this, which reached people in streets, shops and transit cars. Worth noticing is how the drink is set within ordinary urban life rather than at a soda fountain.
