This is a vintage 1997 Coca-Cola postcard from the \"From the Archives of The Coca-Cola Company\" series, reproducing a 1947 French-language point-of-sale display made for Quebec. Amazing condition and just removed from the factory package for photographs.

As the company tells it, the first Canadian Coca-Cola bottling plant opened in January 1906 at 65 Bellwoods Avenue in Toronto, the first one anywhere outside the U.S., and Montreal got its own plant on April 1, 1909, which was so busy it had to move to a bigger space a year later. By 1921 the Winnipeg plant was out-producing the Atlanta and Birmingham, Alabama plants put together! In Quebec the ads spoke French, so \"Drink Coca-Cola Ice Cold\" became \"Buvez Coca-Cola Glacé,\" and a snowy ice king made a pretty good salesman for a cold drink in a province that knows a thing or two about ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🏡 Display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine this in a frame in your kitchen, game room or Coke collection! It's a perfect gift for a Coca-Cola collector, a postcard collector, anybody from Quebec or Montreal, or anybody who loves a cold Coke. Once these last ones are gone they'll be very difficult to acquire. Like everything I sell, they've been kept in the dark at a steady 72°F and under 40% humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relatedBlock\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🔎 More From The Vintage \u0026amp; Antique Gifts Archive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/discover-1990s-coke-coca-cola-postcard-set-unopened-vintage-treasures\"\u003eVintage 🥤 Unopened 1990s Coca‑Cola “Travel Refreshed” Postcard Set (NOS) – John Baeder Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/diet-coke-magnet-brings-1980s-coca-cola-nostalgia-home-vintage-treasures\"\u003eVintage 1980s Diet Coke Refrigerator Magnet 🧲 NOS Coca-Cola Advertising Promo Collectible\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/antique-1930s-coke-coca-cola-soda-bottle-protector-chicago-il-treasures\"\u003eAntique Coca-Cola No-Drip Bottle Protector 🥤 1930s Chicago Paper Sleeve, Take Home a Carton Bag\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage and Antique Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44612816044264,"sku":"VAG-8267737301224","price":5.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/2718\/4037\/files\/il_fullxfull.5137156363_fy3u.jpg?v=1785440003","url":"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/vintage-1997-coke-coca-cola-glace-postcard-made-usa-canada","provider":"Vintage and Antique Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
