Drip grind glass brewers can ad crop — The News, 12 Nov 1937
Frontal pack illustration of an H and H Coffee retail can isolated from a 12 November 1937 The News ad placement. The label band reads, in stacked typography, “DRIP GRIND / H AND H / HIGH GRADE / VACUUM PACKED / COFFEE,” flanked by an inset banner — visible to the left of the can — beginning “Sold…“ (cut off by the crop). The can is shown in three-quarter view with the keyless ring-pull tab on the lid.
For brand history, this art ties the drip grind pack — the SKU the company sold specifically for the glass brewer offer that ran in late 1937 — to the vacuum-packed can technology installed at 601 Delaware Street in June 1937. The crop documents the “H AND H” display lockup in the stacked-banner treatment that recurs through 1937–1939 advertising.
