Roaster stocks photo crop — More Coffee Allied Sub Victories, The News, 23 Jul 1943
Vertical roaster-stocks photograph isolated from The News (San Antonio) “More Coffee Fruit of Allied Sub Victories” column, 23 July 1943, page 28. A suited executive stands in front of a deep stack of printed burlap coffee sacks, hands in front, looking off-camera; the burlap markings are partially legible but lot/origin text is illegible at this scan resolution.
For the H and H archive, this image is filed as wartime trade context rather than a Hoffmann-Hayman company photograph: the original column’s visible text names Hills Bros. leadership, not H&H. The crop documents how rationing-era roaster-stock imagery and Allied anti-submarine war news shared a column with local coffee advertising — the same page carried the H and H Flav-O-Tainer ration-stamp ad — and it preserves the green-coffee sack stack as a visual reference for 1943 supply discussions.
