* It’s natural for popular names to
acquire friendly abbreviations. That’s
why you hear Coca-Cola called “Coke”, j
...or how Americans make friends in Ireland
Cead Mile Failte—a hundred thousand welcomes—says the kindly Irishman when
he meets a stranger. The American soldier says it another way. Have a “Coke”,
says he, and in three words he has said Greetings, pal. It’s a phrase that works
as well in Belfast as in Boston. Around the globe Coca-Cola stands for the pause
| that rejreshes— has become the high-sign between friendly-minded people.
