San Antonio, Texas. Pre-Hoffmann-Hayman employer of T. J. Menger: the 26 August 1923 San Antonio Light credit-manager profile states that ten years prior to joining the coffee company he was bookkeeper and teller at the Alamo National Bank — placing his Alamo National tenure around 1903–1913 (depending on when he joined H&H). Cross-attested in the 2 April 1987 San Antonio Express-News Theodore J. Menger feature (HH-CLIP-1987-0002).

A separate documentary thread: the HH-FACT-0000-0047 Alamo National Bank statement fragments accession documents recovered Alamo Bank statement remnants from the H&H factory wall recess (provenance: “recovered-from-wall” pattern), supplemental but not strongly tying back to T. J. Menger’s pre-H&H career.
