Joe Louis Signs Contract; Facts
of AIL American Drink Corp.
Uncovered in Investigation
NEW SOFT DRINK
TO BE NAMED
AFTER JOE LOUIS
(BY DOLORES CALVIN)
NEW YORK CITY (CNS) Fol
lowng a series of mysterious inci
dents, it was finally revealed this
week that Joe Louis, Heavyweight
Champ of the World, signed a con
tract June 21st, 1946 just two days
after his fistic triumph oVer Billy
Conn which will probably result in
being the most profitable business
dealing of his entire fighting car
What kept the country agape in
wonder of what the new contract
specified and moreover, what it
concerned, came to light when it
was discovered that Joe Louis him
self is giving full support to a new
soft drink named in his honor, the
Joe Louis Punch. Though nego
tiations have been in operation
since last November, the final pa
pers were signed by Joe just two
days after he had kayoed the bal
leting Billy.
But how did such an idea of a
Joe Louis Punch get its initial be
ginning? What force kept behind
that spark into making it a real
ity.all in the span of eight
months?.
That, too, took time to uncover.
After learning that Joe Louis
Punch was a product of the newly
formed All-American Drink Cor
poration, a half million dollar pro
ject, we found the principals of
the corporation busy behind closed
doors of their offices at 55 West
42nd Street, New York City.
Patiently waiting more inform
ation as secretaries buzzed the
conference room. Soon, out came
spokesman William B. Graham,
who dived right into what we
were waiting to hear.
“We got the idea some tinrn a
go’’, began the advertising execu
tive, consultant and promotion ex
pert. “One day several of tne
boys were at the office making
up a prospectur for a national soft
drink company. We couldn’t help
but notice in the survey the tre
mendous volume of soft drinks
consumed by Americans and yet
how few soft drink firms there ac
tually are. We decided then to
have one of our own. But what
to name it? Another idea struck
us. Joe Louis, being the hero of
the day and a man of the people
why not christen our new drink
Joe Louis Punch? We talked to
Joe and he liked the idea. Then
the hard work began. Setting up
the All-American Drink Corpor
ation, tasting formulas for just the
right extract asid suffering the
headaches I guess, of all All-Am-1
erican businessmen.
“At the moment we are a half

and Promotion Expert of newly formed company.
-———■——■—rmram-mtxi a,-. - I I I im III ■ 11 ■—
million dollar corporation”, Mr.
Graham assured us, ‘ and intend;
to increase capitalization in the
near future. Our punch will hit j
the market October and we have
great plans for its expansion. We
first take it to Mexico, South Am
erica, Honolulu, Australia, Russia
and Scandanavia, among other
countries. We expect the sugar
situation to be relieved by early
Spring. Then we can hit other j
sections of Europe. Of course, A- j
merica will be drinking it first,”
he smiled.
The Punch itsel*. which they ex
pect to pack a wallop, as does Joe
will arrive in a bright 7 oz. bottle.
The snarkling water and ginger-,
ale will come in quarts.
• A careful promotion program is
being planned on the punch to
gear it for hitting the waiting j
market with a surety of those ■
Louis knockouts. With Joe's help
and cooperation, the All-Ameriean
feels sure they will reach their
peak in the near future of being
among the ‘first of the country’s
soft drink firms. Such a position
would be well won for a product
bearing the Louis name.
‘‘You might say,” added the
Corp. executive as he lit a cigar,
“that we want the public to feel
that Joe Louis Punch is the peo
ple’s drink just as Joe is the peo
ple's hero.”
