Popular Trio of H. & H. Products

“We roast them, others praise them”

H and H FINE COFFEES

Three popular brands of Hoffmann-Hayman Company coffees appear in above illustration. From left to right they are H and H vacuum-packed in glass; Sam Houston brand, in tins, and Texas Girl, in bags.

Offering a blend range of choice coffees designed to meet every requirement from the standpoint of price, packaging, grind and grade, the Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee company attach special significance to brands reproduced in the accompanying illustration here.

This trio of brands has won and held the confidence of discriminating connoisseurs of fine coffees throughout San Antonio and Texas, G. P. Menger, president of the Hoffmann - Hayman company, stated tod–, and the efforts we have expended to maintain the traditional quality have been and are being rewarded by daily acceptance.

For more than a quarter of a century the famous H and H blend has found favor in the Southwest. This peerless brand is perfectly roasted and vacuum-packed in reusable glass jars.

The H and H Crystalvac Coffee has many obvious advantages which is of intense interest to discriminating coffee users. First there is no fresher coffee than that which is packed in glass, for the instant coffee is ground air begins to affect it, even a brief exposure steals much of its goodness. With the Hoffmann-Hayman vacuum packing process, however, the coffee is packed immediately after grinding and the air has absolutely no chance to attack it.

The Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company is the only coffee roasting organization in San Antonio using the vacuum packing method.

In addition to the advantage of greater freshness the Crystalvac jars when empty make ideal pantry or storage containers, and contrary to the opinion of some persons this form of packaging is no more expensive than the conventional types of containers, for the Hoffmann-Hayman Company will redeem all jars which are in good condition when delivered at the plant here at the rate of three cents cash for each one-pound jar and ten cents for each three-pound jar. These redeemed jars are thoroughly steamed and sterilized and then offered for sale to wholesalers.

The company’s Sam Houston coffee constitutes an outstanding brand which is likewise preferred by those who demand a rich, full-flavored, full-bodied blend of the invigorating beverage. This brand is packed in convenient cans.

A more recent addition to the celebrated Hoffmann-Hayman roaster is Texas Girl coffee. Here is a superb blend of choice coffees economically packed in cellophane-protected bags. In the comparatively short time since the introduction of Texas Girl, the blend has won amazing popularity not only locally but throughout the state.

The Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee company is San Antonio’s largest coffee roasting institution. Its fully-equipped plant at Delaware street and the S. P. tracks here is the newest and most modern in the state.
