My uncle worked for Cotton Club, and I remember him saying that Ginger was the wife of one of the higher ups.

How well I remember this sexist ad...it wasn't exactly subtle, was it, guys? "Big Ginger" insisting that you take her home so you can see what she'll "do to your thirst." Oh well, Cotton Club wasn't known for being nonoffensive back then. I mean, they sold that classic drink "Cherokee Red" too. (Slogan: "Honest Injun--it's terrific!")

I vividly remember the HUGE billboard sign on the top of the building that used ot be on the corner of E. 131st and Miles...featuring the Big Ginger ad for Cotton Club Ginger Ale. She had those big hoop eearings and her hair was flowing like the wind was blowing it. Stuck out because here was White Big Ginger sitting in a black neighborhood. But I LOVED her earrings.
