Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Economic and Social History, grade: B, The University of Liverpool, language: English, abstract: Coca-Cola Company has a long history dating back to 1886, when John Pemberton made Coca Cola syrup at his back yard and carried them to Jacob's pharmacy for sale. In the year 1887, the founder of the Coca-Cola, John Pemberton sold the enterprise to another chemist, Asa Chandelier. Asa Chandelier, through his efforts, turned the Coca-Cola Company in an international path through aggressive advertisements and marketing. At the time, the company manufactured only one brand: the Coca-Cola. However, over the years, it now manufactures about 400 brands in over 200 countries.

Another boost to the worldwide publicity of Coca-Cola was the fact that when the American government entered the World War II, Coca-Cola Company still under the leadership of Woodruff, offered it for sale at a lower rate to uniformed soldiers and the company bore the costs.
