The dated, 1950s Coca-Cola ad features an illustration of a smiling, moustachioed fly fisherman offering a bottle. "What you want is a Coke", the amiable angler advises, "just reach into the handy picnic cooler". That familiar red cooler is in the upper right above the riverside scene. The green plaid-shirted angling enthusiast is wearing his lucky fishing hat with the probably hand-tied flies stuck in the hatband.

Or if one prefers, the reverse depicts an International Business Machines ad for the IBM Type 604 Electronic Calculator. The copy states that with the early computer you can "Experiment Without Peril". Unlike, when in 1505, Leonardo da Vinci took "great risks to further the progress of science" with his Flying Machine. The illustration shows an Italian Renaissance scene of the apparatus being launched from a hill. (1952 was the 500th anniversary of da Vinci's birth).

The vintage ad measures 10" x 6 3/4" (approx.). This back cover advertisement is printed on glossy card stock with little attendant signs of use. This Fifties print ad is in excellent condition and is eminently suitable for framing.

Canada/USA Postage & Packing is $3.50 (Elsewhere to be determined). Multiple items purchased from SHARP OBJECTS may be combined for shipping purposes.
