Dre JoSe Je Watson,

Dear Doctor:

I am writing you personally about a successful Southern

industry, I want you to know us and our product better, and to know
something, too, of our aim and endeavor.

I could tell you an interesting story ef our seventeen
years’ struggle against discouragements and obstacles that seemed at
times impossible to overcome, but all that is past and as I say, we
are now &@ successful Southern industry — one of the few, one of the
very few in our particular line, who have lasted more than a year. a
For seventeen years in the same location, in the same name, under the
same management, under the same formula we have pushed Pepsi-Cola,
and today, though there is still much room for expansion, we can say
that we are firmly established and prospering.

I said something in the opening of this letter about
Our aim and endeavor. What we have been trying to do all these years—
what we have done SUCCESSFULLY, is to put on the market and popular—
ize a perfectly harmless and wholesome drink that might be called a
"liquid confection". Pure sugar, carboneted water, fruit juice,
acid phosphate and there you are — Pepsi-— Cola! Is there anything
alarming, habit-forming or injurious about that?

Pepsi-Cola has been and will be my life’s work until the
long roll is called. I want you to know it and believe in it as I

do. What can I do, Doctor,to convince you that Pepsi-Cola is worthy
of your confidence?

 

Yours truly, .

PRESIDENT.
