The original logo for Coca Cola

     The Coca Cola Company, was created in 1886 by an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John S. Pemberton. Dr. Pemberton took this soft drink to his neighborhood pharmacy for people to sample it.  Dr. Pemberton had a partner/bookkeeper, Frank Robinson who is credited with naming this drink Coca Cola. Also Mr. Robinson was credited for the trademark and distinct script that is still used today. Dr. Pemberton died two years after creating the worlds number one selling beverage. Before Dr. Pemberton died, he sold portions of Coca Cola to several parties, one of them was Asa G. Chandler. Coca Cola, under Candler was a complete success. Coca Cola expanded from fountains outside Atlanta.  In 1894 Coca Cola had a growing demand to make the beverage portable. Joseph Biedenharn installed bottling machinery in his Mississippi side fountain. He was the first to bottled Coca Cola. Five years later, three entrepreneurs bought the bottling rights of Coca Cola from Candler for ONE DOLLAR, which is 27.03 dollars today. Now these 

three entrepreneurs, Benjamin Thomas, Joseph Whitehead and John Lupton became the worldwide bottling system for Coca Cola
