The San Antonio Express-News for Monday, 20 May 1935 (page 7) leads with “Increased Demand Necessitates H&H Improvements,” a news piece on the 601 Delaware Street plant with a large packing-room photograph (workers, H–H / Crystalvac shipping cases). The same page carries “Beautiful Garden Opens at Wolfe’s Inn” and unrelated display ads (e.g. chiropractor, Portland cement); only the Hoffmann-Hayman article is transcribed below.

Increased Demand Necessitates H&H Improvements

Extensive improvements, designed to increase capacity of output, recently have been made in the big, modern sunlit plant of the Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Co., 601 Delaware Street. These improvements were necessitated by the ever-increasing popularity of and public demand for H & H and Sam Houston coffees, packed in reusable vacuum glass jars, in particular, and the other fine products offered by this concern in general, according to R. W. Menger of the H & H company.

Pictured here is a section of the packing department of the Hoffmann-Hayman plant, where a large number of persons are employed. The special vacuum pumps and chamber, where all air is sucked out of the famous H & H and Sam Houston coffees Crystalvac jars, are shown. There is no cleaner, finer plant of its kind than the home of H & H products. Scrupulous sanitation is maintained and every product of the company reaches the consumer absolutely clean and pure.

The Hoffmann-Hayman company pioneered the vacuum packed, reusable glass jar in the State of Texas. Contrary to the belief of some, H & H Crystalvac really costs no more than other forms of packing. This is because of the re-use and the cash value of empty jars.

Sales figures compiled by Mr. Menger show that Texas Girl coffee, another H & H product, now is the leader in its price field in San Antonio.
