I'm trying my best to find an explanation why Coca Cola changed the name Gold Seal Ginger Ale to Goldelle Ginger Ale, but if such an explanation exist, it is eluding me. All I can say at the moment is, around 1910-1911 they dropped the name Gold Seal like a hot potato and started using Goldelle. As we know, they started out by saying Goldelle was "Formerly" called Gold Seal. However, if the image in this newspaper ad is a true representation of a Goldelle label, notice where they use the word "Celebrated" instead of "Formerly." Which suggest Goldelle must have been a fairly well known and distributed by that time (1919). From ... The Daily Illinois ~ June 13, 1919
