From Flickr and The Library Of Congress (COKE)

These pictures were released by the Library of Congress to share with the public and to better catalog the 1000's of pictures they have archived there. This "test" run is presented on Flickr in two sets One from the early 1900's in black and white and another from the 1930' and 40's in color. I found them fascinating and I am sure if you haven't had a chance you will to. I've picked some photo's from the 30's and 40's which were tagged with Coke or Coca cola....check them out and be sure to look over the entire 3000 pics at Flickr
