Labels readable in the montage include Hoffmann-Hayman and Morrison coffee identities among the broader food, drink, and industrial sampler—context for how the city’s coffee houses presented themselves beside mills, breweries, and foundries in civic booster coverage.
Pair with the article block from the same page in Wilson gifts — “All made in San Antonio”, which names donors and specific samples (including Wesco and H. & H. cans).
