Here the subject is a Coca-Cola advertisement carrying the slogan "Have a Coke," set against a shopping theme, which places it in the company's long run of mid-century print campaigns. Coca-Cola had been selling its drink since 1886, when pharmacist John Pemberton's syrup first went on sale in Atlanta, and by the 1940s and 1950s its advertising relied on bright illustration and everyday scenes to tie the soda to ordinary routines. "Have a Coke" became one of the company's most durable phrases after it first appeared in the early 1920s, and this kind of ad shows how the brand presented a bottle as a casual pause in the middle of a busy day.
