It was this actual drawing that inspired Haddon Sundblom (from Coca Cola ) in 1931, to make the drawing of Santa, as we see and know him today.

So he was red, white and round before Coca Cola...

true, but nobody would know him as that today most likely if it weren't for the mass adds, we'd probably have a santa that looked closer to a father christmas or such
