Coca-Cola has that extra something to do the job of complete refreshment. It has a taste that’s uniquely Hjk satisfying—a quality that’s unmistakable. And there’s a real reason for that. Coca-Cola holds the original secret of unique refreshment... a finished art in its making ... a blend of wholesome flavors that can’t be copied. Your experience has discovered this special something in Coca-Cola. .. delicious taste with no cloying after-taste . . . refreshment in the finest form. The only thing like Coca-Cola is another Coca-Cola. * * * It’s natural for popular names to acquire friendly abbrevia tions. That’s why you hear Coca-Cola called Coke. Coca-Cola and Coke mean the same thing... the real thing... “a single thing coming from a single source, and well known to the community”. At U. S. O. recreation centers, you’ll see how happily ice-cold Coca-Cola “cuts in” to make “intermission” a refreshing rroment on the sunny side of things. It makes for morale. The best is always the better buy! BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY VELDON COCA-COLA BOTTLING WORKS, INC._
