Hilda Clark, shown here in an 1890s advertisement for Coca-Cola, was an American model and actress. She was born in 1872 in Leavenworth, Kansas, and moved east to Boston to become a popular music hall songstress and actress. However, Clark became famous as a model in 1895 when she became the first woman to be featured on a tin Coca-Cola tray. She remained the advertising "face" of Coca-Cola until February 1903.Image credit: The Coca-Cola Company
