Saturday, July 3, 1909. Adulterated.

Federal charges were filed against Koca Nola, yes you read that right, after it was found to contain cocaine.

It was advertised, FWIW, as "dopeless".  

It was the third most popular cola in the United States at the time, but would be bankrupt within a year.

Hudson debuted.

Hudson advertisement from 1910.

Hudson's were made until 1957, when the company merged with AMC.  AMC would come to have substantial ownership by Renault and existed until 1987, when Chrysler bought the company's stock.
