Tight crop on the Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Co. footer banner — torn-paper "All Texas Prefers H and H" placard at left, steaming cup and saucer at right, with "We roast it, others praise it." script, 5 Dec 1924 News

A wide horizontal footer banner clipped from the foot of the 5 December 1924 News display ad. On the left a torn-paper / tag silhouette reads “All Texas Prefers H and H.” The center field carries the “HOFFMANN HAYMAN / COFFEE CO.” signature in bold sans-serif slab type. Floating above the right end of the banner sits a steaming cup and saucer line drawing with curling steam, alongside the cursive tagline “We roast it, others praise it.”

For Hoffmann-Hayman brand history this footer is a near-complete brand-signature lockup: it pairs the company slug, the “All Texas Prefers H and H” territorial claim, and the “We roast it, others praise it.” house slogan with the iconic steaming-cup-and-saucer device in one frame. The same cup-and-saucer vignette and slogan reappear in the 1925 “Romance of Coffee” and 1926 Light display ads — making this December 1924 footer the cleanest single-frame source for the lockup.
