Original real photo postcard (RPPC) featuring a man standing beside a storefront sign advertising Coca-Cola at 5¢, alongside other goods like “Groceries – Ice Cream.” The image also shows the store name R.W. Gibson Co. and the address 10296 Greenwood painted on an additional sign below.The man, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and coat, is posed next to the signpost, pointing or holding an object toward it. Behind him is a wooden fence and open land, suggesting this was a rural or semi-rural business location. The sign highlights Coca-Cola’s early 20th-century marketing campaign that promoted the beverage as “Delicious and Refreshing”at the standard nickel price.Printed on Kodak photo postcard paper, this card can be dated to the 1910s–1920s, during the height of Coca-Cola’s expansion as America’s most popular soft drink.Details:Format: Real Photo Postcard (RPPC)Paper: Kodak postcard stock (c. 1910s–1920s)Subject: Man with signpost; R.W.
