Hmmm..... I think you're right!
Thanks for pointing that out, hetzer38t! Sometimes when you use the same pattern over and over you miss things I guess. Stand by!

Hi corpbob, just one thing Coca Cola arrived in France on the Normandy beaches with the U.S. Soldiers => OK, but the wall of the buildings on the French ads appear after 1945.

Coca Cola was being bottled & sold in 44 country (including France) before WWII according to the Coca Cola website. www.thecoca-colacompany.com/ourcompany/historybottling.html

show me one picture and I would probably agree! I assume you are looking for a building, but I did find a Coca-Cola delivery truck in France from the 1930s - sufficient or should I look for a building?

My mother in communist Czechoslovakia got a coke once a year at christmas, and this was in the 1960s - the rest of the year it was water, tea, lemonade or a horrible Coke surrogate called Kofola (only reason they still make it must be some from the Communist era who still likes it LOL) - whether that was because she lived close to Austria, our family connections or because it was in the Prague Spring I can't say, but I guess the same thing counts for Western Europe in the 1930s. My Norwegian father got one 0,3 l bottle each saturday in the early 60s.
So Cokes were a rarity even in the 1960s - and even more so in the 1930s - if you were grown up and had cash for it, you could probably drink more of them, but kids would either never have them at all or get them at birthdays or christmas - and this only in middle class (upper middle?) and higher classes. I don't think most families in the early Depression days would spend the little cash they had on luxury goods as coke, but on food.

That's the same story my Dad told me about growing up here in the 1940's. He told me about getting some gum one time during the war. When he got it home he found it was only a little sugar and wax. He was so disappointed. He was born in 1936 so he was old enough to remember a lot from the later war years.
