Description
The Nova Kola Bottling Company was chartered in Atlanta by E.C. Lester, W.F. Lester Jr, J.R. Collier, and G.W. Collier in 1910. The company was charged with fraud in 1912. The drink was only advertised in newspapers from 1910-1912. However, a 1917 postcard of the bridge across the Chattahoochee at Marietta St (no longer exists) shows a Nova Kola building in the foreground.
