Here the drink is not a beer or a wine but Coca-Cola, which the board files under "Drinks" with the brand's own name attached. The title, "The refreshing custom," points to the soft drink's early twentieth-century push to make a bottle of Coke an everyday habit rather than a special treat. Coca-Cola's advertising of that era leaned heavily on illustrated scenes of ordinary people pausing for a cold drink, and that pitch helped turn a fountain beverage from Atlanta into one of the most widely recognized brands in the world. Look closely at the figures and setting for the period fashions and social codes the ad assumed its readers would share.
