Here the subject is an advertisement rather than a bottle or a place: a Coca-Cola print promoting its drink with the line "Refreshing New Feeling" and pairing it with ice cream floats. Coca-Cola began as a fountain drink in Atlanta in 1886, and by the early twentieth century its advertising had shifted from medicinal claims toward everyday pleasure and summer refreshment. The float, a scoop of ice cream set in a glass of soda, was a popular soda-fountain treat, so the ad ties the brand to that social ritual of the drugstore counter. Look at the slogan and the image together to see how the company was selling the drink as a cool, happy break rather than a tonic.
