The syrup concoction, which gained its name from Pemberton’s bookkeeper, was mixed with carbonated water and served as a fountain drink. Dr. Pemberton did not conceive the potential of his new invention, because of this he sold shares of the business to various partners Journey Staff, 2017). However, one investor, Asa Candler, a future mayor of Atlanta, savvy business man, and the first president of the Coca-Cola Company, did see the potential and worked diligently to acquire all the rights and control of the business. Eventually Mr. Candler achieved his goal, and in 1893 the Coca-Cola Company was incorporated as a Georgia corporation. By 1895 the meager beginnings of selling nine drinks a day had transformed into a successful brand which was sold in every state and territory in the U.S. (Journey Staff, 2017).
