—Photo by Studer.The increasing popularity of glass coffee brewers has been instrumental in the Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company’s new policy of making their three popular brands of coffee, H & H, Sam Houston and Texas Girl, also available in a FINE GRIND especially adaptable for use in glass coffee brewers. Look for the Blue Sticker on each package which reads “Ground Especially for Glass Brewers.”
Of additional interest is the announcement by the company that they are stocking the “Cory” Improved Brewer, considered one of the best on the market today, and that these brewers, in either gas or electric models in the eight-cup Homestead Model size, are available to households of San Antonio and Southwest Texas through a special coupon offer contained in H & H Crystavac, vacuum-packed glass jars, for only $1.75 and six coupons for the gas model, and $2.75 and six coupons for the electric unit.
