flash-lit, and tonally blue snapshot of a broken door-frame with shattered lock
panel, the inner edge split and at least an inch awry suggesting the impact of an aggressive, forced

*“Among modern business men, and with the rising
cult of younger men, the most marked tendency of the day is toward strict temperance.
In this connection Coca-Cola admirably fills the

delicious, refreshing and absolutely harmless.”

20th century.
