Two women sit under vintage hood-style hair dryers in this magazine advertisement, a scene that tells you as much about mid-century leisure as it does about the soft drink being sold. Coca-Cola ran many ads like this in American magazines, pairing the brand with everyday pleasures such as salons, picnics and social gatherings, so that the bottle became part of ordinary routines rather than a special treat. Print ads of this kind were a major part of the company's effort to make Coke a constant presence in daily life, and their illustrations are now often studied for the fashions, furniture and attitudes they capture.
