G. GAMBLER
dies AT Home
Coca Cola King Succumbs
To Illness of 2 Years;
Mourned In Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga, March 13.-(R
Atlanta today mourned Asa G.
Gambler, a former drug clerk in q
country pharmacy, whose faith IN
a soft drink formula brought him
millions in the manufacture Of
Coca Cola. The 78-year-old cap
italist, civic leader and philanth-
ropiSt died late yesterday after an
illness of more than two years.
The story Of MI. Gamblers rise
is a story Of the romance Of
American business. AS the pro-
prietor of an Atlanta drug store,
more than forty years ago, he pur-
chased the formula for Coca Cola
for a reported price Of $500, and in
1918 sold his interest in the i'm
menSe Coca Cola manufacturing
company for $25, 900, 000.
He was married, while still a
pharmacist, to Miss Lucy Howard
of Atlanta, who died in 1919. Soon
thereafter he was sued for $780,
600 damages in a breach of promise
action by Mrs. Onezima Debouchel
of New Orleans, but won the YER
dict after a lengthy trial. In 1923
he married the former Mrs. Mary
Little Reagan Of Atlanta, who sur
wives him.
Mr.. Chambers path to success
was not without it's obstacles. He
was ten years old when the Civil
war began. The family farm was
near the path of ~desolation spread
by Sherman's march through Geor-
gia and when the war had ended
the farm was stripped Of negroes,
stock and provisions. He did his
share of the work Of retaining
the land, at the same time attend
ing the public schools. This he sup
.plemented by the study Of phar-
macy and when he was 81 went to
Atlanta, Ca, with a capital Of $3.50.
Going to- work in a drug store he
remained until November 1873,
when his father died and he re-
turned to the family farm to take
charge Of it.
When conditions at the farm
were such as to enable him to do
SO he returned to Atlanta and in
1873 made his first start in bus
mess, forming a partnership with
the late N. 3. Hallman in the drug
business. After four years he pur-
chased his partners interest and
conducted the business alone for
six years.
Started Small
In April, 1888, Mr.. Gambler first
became connected with the manu-
facture of Coca Cola and three
years later became the sole own
err of the business. Having con-
fidence in its future he staked his
fortune in it and devoted all his
time to it. His first factory was
q small shed and he personally
stirred the kettle in which the
syrup was manufactured. The first
year the sales amounted to only
500 gallons.
Mr.. Gambler organized the Coca
Cola company of Georgia Febru-
airy %, 1892, and continued as its
active head until 1911, when he
was succeeded his son, Charles
Howard Chandler.
In addition to his gifts to char
ity, which aggregated several mil
lion dollars. Mr.. Gamblers life was
characterized by numerous in
stances of practical altruism-acts
which in their inception appeared
like tossing away money for the
benefit of the public. During the
money panic of 1907 he offered to
