Bold promotional advertising flyer directed at retailers of Red Rock brand cola advising them of the plethora of marketing and merchandising material that would be available to them featuring Babe Ruth's 1939 endorsement of the brand. The 11" x 17" flyer is printed on slick paper folded in half and lists a litany of ways that the Ruth endorsement will be featured in company advertising. Graphics include an image of Ruth tipping his cap wearing a Red Rock logo across his jersey along with an image of Red Rock brand cola. The positioning statement "America Applauds a Finer Cola Drink!!" appears across the bottom of the piece. Condition appears strong some small holes and indentations appear toward the top middle portion of the piece likely wear from some type of fastener. The fold is heavily creased from years of storage and a horizontal crease traverses left to right across the bottom of the piece just underneath the red typeface from where the piece was folded again for storage. An interesting lesser-known advertising item featuring Ruth after his baseball career had ended but his legend had not.
