Rita Hayworth may have been the model for this advertisement as she was for several Royal Crown
and Par-T-Pak (produced by Royal Crown) beverage ads for the Columbus, Georgia company while
her husband was stationed at Fort Benning during World War II. The stunning redhead pictured
here is serving Par-T-Pak Ginger Ale and Club Soda to three enthralled servicemen from the Army,
Navy, and Marines.
