. . . spreading American holiday spirit overseas
Your American fighting man loves his lighter moments. He takes his home
ways with him where he goes . . . makes friends easily. Have a "Coke", he says
to stranger or friend, and he spreads the spirit of good will throughout the
year. And throughout the world Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes,—
has become the high-sign of the friendly-hearted.

"Coke"= Coca-Cola
It's natural for popular names
to acquirc friendly abbrevia-
