Free samples by these firms — San Antonio Express-News, 9 Feb 1924
The San Antonio Express-News of 9 February 1924 (page 5) prints a boxed co-op directory, “Free samples by these firms,” listing local manufacturers and jobbers with one-line product hooks. Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company appears with “H and H Coffee” alongside creameries, macaroni works, bakeries, and other San Antonio food trades—useful context for where the roaster sat in the city’s sample-day economy.
