From the Shorpy Old Picture site.
From May 27, 2014 "Bingo Zimba: 1943."
June 1943. Arlington, Virginia. "A soldier treating his date to a coke in the service shop at Idaho Hall, Arlington Farms, a residence for women who work at the U.S. government for the duration of the war." By Esther Bubley, OWI.
Comments: Part of Arlington Hall complex which eventually moved to Fort Meade as the National security Agency.
Comment: Coke shown in the lower case.
Comment: These Cokes were dispensed in a paper cup instead of a bottle.
The government needed a lot of workers to keep up with the mountains of war-related details in this pre-digital age. You can go to the site and see the picture.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
