This advertisement stands out for its headline offer of $30,000 in cash prizes, a sum that would have been a major draw for readers when it ran. The copy's folksy spelling, "Refresh Yo'self," matches the casual, everyday tone Coca-Cola used to tie its drink to ordinary pauses in the day. Contest promotions like this one were a common way for soft drink makers to get customers to notice a brand and remember it. Looking closely at the layout and wording shows how advertisers of the period balanced a prize with a simple, repeatable slogan.
