Few brands have leaned on the phrase "Have a Coca-Cola" as long or as recognizably as the company did, and this magazine advertisement carries the slogan's promise of a quick, cheerful pause in its headline. Coca-Cola's print campaigns of the early and middle twentieth century routinely paired wholesome, upbeat scenes with the drink, tying it to everyday leisure, travel and the open road. The "Drive refreshed" line speaks to that automobile era, when a cold bottle at a roadside stop became a familiar part of American life. Look closely at the composition and lettering, since these ads were designed to be read at a glance while a reader flipped through a magazine.
