Coca-Cola in 1930

Cool blog that each day posts a summary of the Wall Street Journal from the corresponding day in 1930.

Here is one headline from this past Friday in 1930.

Coca-Cola estimates earnings for second quarter $4.50M compared to $3.94M in 1929. Says depression is having little effect on operations. Trying to increase sales in foreign markets; export sales were up 32% in 1929 and 82% in 1928. Now sold in 76 countries, up from 30 in 1926.

Coca-Cola will earn over $ 6 billion in 2009.
