romance in every language. Romances of love, romances of business, romances of
professional men and women who are daily being stimulated by it.
The author is sure of at least one such romance, for he was a part of it, and it all
began not far from the very spot on which the drug clerk purchased the old kettle. It
was here that the author met his wife, and it was she who first told him of the
Enchanted Kettle. It was the product of that Kettle they were drinking when he asked
her to accept him "for better or worse."
Now that you know the content of the Enchanted Kettle is a world famous drink,
it is fitting that the author confess that the home city of the drink supplied him with a
wife, also that the drink itself provides him with stimulation of thought without
intoxication, and thereby it serves to give the refreshment of mind which an author
must have to do his best work.
Whoever you are, wherever you may live, whatever occupation you may be
engaged in, just remember in the future, every time you see the words "Coca-Cola,"
that its vast empire of wealth and influence grew out of a single IDEA, and that
the mysterious ingredient the drug clerk—Asa Candler—mixed with the secret
formula was... IMAGINATION!
Stop and think of that, for a moment.
