MARCH-2015-National

President’s Message
As I write this at the end of January, I am pleased that I am
ahead of schedule. I have most of the Christmas things down and
only have the two Christmas trees to de-ornament and put away
and we are done for another year. I plan to have it all done by the first week or two
of February. I wonder how many of you have the same problem? There is so much
Coca-Cola Christmas themed items that I have to pick a selection of them for the
year and go from there. I suggested to Rory that we could take the roof off and put
on a third story for the Coke stuff, but the reception was lukewarm to say the least.
You may realize that the Super Bowl was held a stone’s throw from the
Reissuance Hotel in Glendale, AZ, our convention hotel this summer. You will be
pleased to know that the rate we are paying is less than $100 per night. The standard
room at the hotel during Super Bowl weekend was around $900. You can stay the
week for less than what was paid for one night!
Hotel reservations are pouring in and we are now about 70% of our contracted
minimum. There are plenty of rooms available now. I know that there is always
some problems with people making reservations and I want everyone to know that most of these problems
are easily solvable.. All of our hotel contracts have a provision that allows members to get the same rate
before and after the convention. This can vary from 3 to 5 days depending on the hotel. Unfortunately,
hotels use a central reservation service and the terms of our contract are not always available to the off site
reservation site.
If you are not given the hotel rate, or you are told that the hotel is sold out at our rate on a particular night,
please let a board member know. Usually it is just a simple phone call and we can get you the room and rate
we contracted for. Occasionally we are notified of these glitches when it is too late for us to correct them.
We want you to attend and enjoy the festivities, so we are standing by to make the reservations as smooth as
possible.
The Grand Canyon tour appears to be very popular. We have already filled one bus and are well on our
way to filling a second one. If you have never seen this natural phenomenon, you should consider making
this tour. Please note that there will be NO refunds for those that have signed up for this tour, regardless of
circumstances. If you purchase the tour and are unable to participate, you will need to find a replacement.
We are gearing up for our biannual elections. The club needs a dedicated board that has the best interest
of the membership at heart. The jobs are time consuming but the work is also rewarding. Please look at the
job descriptions and if you have the time and expertise, please consider running.
If you are even a little internet savvy, you may notice the current Coca-Cola promotion #MakeItHappy.
The program is there to remind us to be civil and polite with our internet posts. I have seen some of the
#MakeItHappy postings on Facebook and it looks like the program is going to take some time to turn
things around. I am surprised at some of the uncivil responses. The program is an attempt to reduce cyber
bullying.
Enjoy Coke and Enjoy Collecting,
Dan

Welcome To Phoenix
Over the next few issues we will explore Phoenix as we get ready for the 41st annual national convention.
While TCCCC has held one convention in Scottsdale, AZ in 1992 this will be our first visit to Phoenix.
Phoenix is the capital of Arizona as well as the largest city in Arizona and the largest state capital and the sixth
largest city in the country and the 13th largest metropolitan area. It is halfway between Tucson and Flagstaff.
Phoenix was founded in 1867 where the Salt and Gila Rivers meet and became a city in 1881. The area is
often called the Valley of the Sun and is a part of the Salt River Valley. It is situated in the northeastern section
of the Sonoran Desert. The city has a subtropical desert climate.
Phoenix was the original home of the Hohokam tribe for over 2,000 years. These people created the basic
irrigation canals that are still used in Phoenix today. These tribes abandoned the area in the 1300 – 1450 time
period due to a series of severe droughts followed by severe floods.
The land became part of Mexico and Mexico sold the land to the United States at the end of the MexicanAmerican War in 1848. At the time the land was a part of the New Mexico territory. Arizona became a
separate territory in 1863 and became the 48th state and the last of the contiguous states in 1912. Phoenix and
the surrounding area was built on the “five Cs” Cotton, Cattle, Citrus, Climate and Copper. Alfalfa and hay
were also big crops in the region.
The growth of Phoenix and the metropolitan area exploded after World War II
for two main reasons. Soldiers who trained in the area and after the war brought
their families back to the area to settle, and the invention and popularization of
air conditioning. Companies like Motorola, INTEL and McDonnell Douglas
built plants in Phoenix in the 1950’s which also spurred the growth of the area.
Most people assume that Arizona has a warm desert climate. That is true for the
Phoenix area which sits in a desert. The summers are hot and the winters are
mild.
However, the state is large and has many ecosystems. The northern third of the
state has four seasons and ice and snow in the winter. The Grand Canyon which
is a 4ish hour drive from Phoenix will have more pleasant temperatures around
the south rim of highs in the low 80s during the day and lows in the 60s or 50s at
night.
Next month we will explore things to do in Phoenix and the surrounding areas.

Hilda Clark & Lillian Nordica:
Celebrity Endorsements in the Early Years
Written by: Beth Markowitz
Examples of celebrity endorse-
ments for products date back
at least to the mid-1700s (and
probably earlier than that).
Josiah Wedgwood, the father
of the pottery brand that bears
his name, claimed endorsements from royalty, including
Queen Charlotte and Catherine
the Great of Russia as early as
the 1760s.
Around
that same
time, nobility and
heads of
state were
using their
own cachet
to market
food. Marie Antoinette wore
potato
blossoms
in her hair
and Louis
XVI wore
the blossoms in his
buttonhole
in order to promote the growth and use of potatoes.
By the mid-1800’s the focus of celebrity endorsements
shifted from nobility to celebrities. Howard Staunton,
regarded as the world’s strongest chess player at the
time, endorsed what soon became the standard form
for chess pieces for the Jaques of London company
and George Leybourne, a famous entertainer of the
time, became the celebrity face of champagne in 1866.
The champagne maker Moet even commissioned Ley-
The Coca-Cola Collectors News
bourne to write and perform
songs extolling the virtue of
champagne. He also agreed
to drink nothing but champagne in public. Another important vehicle for celebrity
endorsements - the trade card
- was in heavy use by the
1800s. It was common to include cards featuring a prominent celebrity, either along
with the product or inserted in the packaging itself.
Typically the card had a picture of the celebrity and
a product description, but no quote or direct testimonial by the celebrity. Among those featured on trade
cards at the time
were actresses like
Lily Langtry and
Sarah Bernhardt
or baseball players
such as Cy Young
and Ty Cobb. Even
the author Mark
Twain endorsed two
brands of cigars and
a brand of flour.
In a similar way,
The Coca-Cola
Company utilized celebrities in
some of its earliest
advertising calling
on two celebrated
singers to endorse
their product at the
turn of the century:
Hilda Clark and Lillian Nordica. Today, these women
are not as well known as some of their contemporaries
from stage and screen and perhaps are best remembered for their likeness on Coca-Cola memorabilia
rather than their on-stage prowess.

~ Hilda Clark ~
Hilda Clark was born in Leavenworth, Kansas in the
early 1870’s. The Salt Lake City newspaper, Deseret
Evening News, in an October 5, 1901 article described
her as a “charming society belle dancing and singing
her way into the hearts of army officers” stationed at
Leavenworth.
The article went
on to describe
her as “young
and beautiful;
uncommon tall,
with masses of
curls that looked
like spun gold
when the rays of
the sun struck
them.” After
the death of
her father, the
family moved
to Boston. With
the encouragement of friends, she went to Europe for
two years to further her musical studies. On return,
she became the soprano for St. Mark’s Church in
New York City. It was there that the composer of The
Princess Bonnie, Willard Spenser heard her sing. She
made her debut in the title role of the musical The
Princess Bonnie, in 1895.
Following the
show’s run, she
joined “The Bostonians”, a light
opera company,
in September
1895 for a season. She had a
number of other
roles before
appearing in the
prima donna role
of John Philip
Sousa’s opera
The Bride Elect,
her best known
role. She also
page 10
frequently appeared in theaters throughout the East
Coast where she was billed as a light opera singer.
Hilda Clark was never known as a gifted actress.
Her
voice was her ticket
to stardom. Lewis
Clinton Strang, in
his book Famous
Prima Donnas,
published in
1900, described
her, saying “The
divine gift of
song has placed
Hilda Clark,
whose ability as
an actress is by no
means great, in a
position of prominence in the theatrical world.” He notes that there
will always be a demand for attractive young
women with pleasing singing voices thus granting
her a measure of success. He goes on to describe
her as having “the added charm of more than ordinary physical attractiveness. She is a blonde of

opinion of Lewis Clinton Strang, she won
over many during her
brief period on stage.
The Deseret Evening
News article, which is
called “Hilda’ Clark’s
Romance” notes that
she had captured the
heart of the young wall
street king, Frederick
Flower and the article
suggested rumors of an
engagement. She and
Flower were married
in 1903 at which time
she retired from the
stage. She made her
final appearance as a celebrity endorser for Coca-Cola
in 1904. She died in Miami Florida in 1932.

rather than compelling, and her
stage presence is
good, though there
are times when
this would have
been improved by
more bodily grace
and freedom.” It
is clear that Mr.
Strang does not
think Hilda Clark
belongs in the same
realm as the other
twenty one women
he profiles. Not
only is she that last
prima donna profiled,
she also only warrants five pages of
text while most of the
others receive two to
three times that.
Hilda Clark has the
distinction of being
the first of many celebrity endorsers for Coca-Cola.

~ Lillian Nordica ~
The town of Farmington in the Rangeley region
of Maine has one enduring claim to fame. Here on
December 12, 1857, was born Lilly Norton, destined
to become one of the greatest dramatic sopranos the
world
has ever
known.
An Italian
maestro at
the beginning of
her operatic career
selected
the stage
name
“Nordica”
claiming
European
operagoers
would not
embrace a diva with such a plain, American name. As
Madame Lillian Nordica she made her debut in La
Traviata at Brescia, Italy, April, 1879.
page 12
Following her studies at the New England Conserva-
tory during the 1870’s under John O’Neill, she went
to Europe for her 1878 début. This was the beginning
of an illustrious
career heaped
with honor. She
was the first
singer to be heard
in the new Trocadero in Paris;
the first American
woman invited to
sing at the famous
Bayreuth Festival
in Germany; the
world’s greatest
Wagnerian artist; and brilliant
member of one of
the Metropolitan
Opera’s greatest
companies. As
one of the foremost dramatic
sopranos of her
day her powerful, yet flexible,
voice mastered a
wide variety of roles in the German, French and Italian
operatic repertoires. At the time of her death which
March 2015
www.cocacolaclub.org
occurred at Batavia, on the island of Java, May 10,
1914, Nordica’s fame had penetrated into every corner
of the world.
As illustrious was her career, so was her death.
She
was shipwrecked in the Torres Strait and spent her
final months in a hospital on Thursday Island before
sailing for Batavia. There, she died of pneumonia.
In 1927 the Nordica Memorial Association was organized to purchase and restore the Norton homestead
and to perpetuate the memory of Maine’s most famous
daughter. Today, it houses The Nordica Homestead
Museum. The building, a typical Maine farmhouse,
was built by her grandfather. The front entry is everyday 1857 New England, but look beyond and the
real world vanishes and the fanciful world of the stage
comes to life. Here against the background of the
Norton home are displayed the gorgeous gowns of
Nordica’s great roles. Also on display are the glittering
jewels which once enhanced her statuesque beauty.
Many portraits of her can be found throughout the
town, including a reproduction of the portrait done by
The Coca-Cola Collectors News
The Coca-Cola Company. In the portrait used by
Coca-Cola, Madame Nordica stands with one arm
resting on a tall, beautifully carved pedestal. On the
pedestal stands the early straight-sided bottle. The
words above tell the whole story: “Drink Coca-Cola
in bottles—5 ¢.” The Coca-Cola Company used this
image on a number of items including calendars,
magazine ads, coupons, menus, bookmarks, trays
and a variety of signs. Lillian Nordica appeared in
Coca-Cola advertising starting in 1904 and was featured in the first full-color magazine ad in 1905. This
two-sided ad contained a coupon for a free glass of
Coca-Cola and appeared in at least ten major magazines in 1905 including Munsey’s, Leslie’s Weekly,
Good Housekeeping, and Review of Reviews. Almost
$43,000 worth of Coca-Cola was served during 1905
alone from the use of the
coupons.
The use of these two
popular beauties set the

The Club Needs Your Help!!
It is time once again for the most important business process our Club performs every two years – election
of officers for the 2015 – 2017 term. As Election Committee Chairperson, I wanted to reach out to our
membership with hopes many of you would commit to doing your part as an involved, informed and
active member and step forward to run for the Board. We have nine positions to be filled, as you will
read about in this month’s newsletter and we can never have too many candidates. The skill set varies
by position, yet the most important needs are members that will commit to their position, have the Club’s
best interest in the decision making process and keep the membership informed. Won’t you consider
running? In order to keep our Club healthy and growing for years to come, it takes members that can
be “leaders”, have fresh ideas and a passion for the Club to get involved when this election process rolls
around.
Please feel free to call or email me if you have questions about the workload, business process or anything
else regarding serving on the Board. Even if you choose not to run, urge fellow members to consider the
positions, discuss at your chapter meetings who might could help out the Club or send suggestions to me
for follow up. As I mentioned, this is a critical time for our Club and it is our job to make sure the best
members available are elected to help lead us into the future.
