I've often wondered if the Coca Cola archives has a copy of every magazine ad they ever produced? At least the ones with company commissioned artwork? I know it would have been impossible for them to keep up with the local ads that appeared in newspapers, but even many of those I think used company provided clip art. I bet the number of ads produced from the start of the company to even 1965 shall we say would be staggering!
Thanks for sharing these Henry. I have a 3+ foot tall stack of magazines from the teens and twenties that I just can't seem to cut up yet! I love the ads from that time, very high quality printing and artwork. I do have a very nice Chesterfield ad that I've had hanging up for a few years. I collect art-deco and always thought she epitomizes the modern woman of the time.

I have wondered that about Coke as well. I would guess they did not keep copies of most ads. They were in the business to sell not archiving.
I have many hundreds of magazines to go thru. I am always picking up more. It is like a treasure hunt and you learn a lot of history along the way. I bought about 75 this month at antique shows in NH. over Christmas.
I also like the teens and twenties the most but the 40's is a great time for the war time ads. There are many magazines that I find too good to take apart and I save them intact.
Years ago I was at an auction and the barn was full of magazines. I bid on about 3000 Life magazines but dropped out. I felt bad for the buyer because he had just finished loading his truck to capacity and it started to rain. He still had another load to come back for.
