Early in its history,the company recognized the need for a distinctive package in which to sell its product.In 1915,Alexander Samuelson,a Swedish glassblower who had emigrated to Terre Haute,Ind.,designed the famous six-and-one-half-ounce bottle.The new packaging helped to make Coke internationally known.By 1928,the company was selling more Coke in bottles than at soda fountains.Coke sold in the original bottle or in glasses at fountains until 1955,but since then,it has been available in larger glass or plastic bottles and in cans.In 1919,three years after Asa candler stepped down as president,Coca-Cola experienced a momentous change.The Candler family decided to sell the Coca-Cola Co.to a group headed by Georgia financier Ernest Woodruff for $25 million.At the time,it was the South's largest financial transaction.Woodruff spent a brief spell as president,then chose his 23-year-old son Robert to take over.
參考答案:在公司的初期阶段，该公司意识到了有必要设计一个独特的包装来销售产品。1915年，亚历山大•萨缪尔，一位移居特雷霍特的瑞典吹玻璃工人设计出了后来著名的六个半盎司装的玻璃瓶。新包装使得公司获得了巨大国际知名度。到1928年为止，公司卖出的可口可乐远远超过了同时期的苏打水饮料。用最初的瓶或玻璃屏装销售的可乐虽然仅销售到1955年，但恰是从那以后，用大玻璃瓶或塑料瓶或听装的可乐越来越常见了。
这主要是因为以下这一段事件。1919年，也就是在ASa坎德勒成为公司的总裁后，可口可乐公司经历了重大的变革。坎德勒家族决定以2500万美元的价格将可口可乐公司卖给一个佐治亚州的金融巨头欧内斯特•伍德鲁夫旗下的一个集团。当时，这是美国南部最大的一笔金融交易。伍德鲁夫仅仅担任了新公司总裁短暂的一段时间，就选择他当时23岁的儿子罗伯特接管了公司。
