Boxed news brief headed "COFFEE COMPANY PROSPERS" reporting the Hoffmann-Hayman Company of San Antonio at seven years old, with two large roasters and 10,000 lbs daily capacity — *San Antonio Express-News*, 30 Jan 1920, p. 32

A short boxed brief in the San Antonio Express-News for Friday, 30 January 1920 (page 32), under the headline “COFFEE COMPANY PROSPERS.” In five lines it dates the Hoffmann-Hayman Company as seven years old (consistent with the February 1912 Texas charter), names two large roasters with 10,000 lb daily capacity, and positions H. & H. Blend as a Southwest-Texas regional brand. The export’s headline types “Hoffman-Hayman” (one n) — a recurring spelling variant in the Newspapers.com OCR and in this period’s prose; the firm’s own charter and ad copy used Hoffmann-Hayman.
