Hoffmann-Hayman "Clip This Coupon" ad — H and H Blend, Sam Houston, Menger Brand Peaberry — San Antonio Light, 14 February 1930, p. 32

Half-column Hoffmann-Hayman display ad from the San Antonio Light of Friday, 14 February 1930, promoting three of the firm’s coffees side-by-side: H and H Blend Coffee, Sam Houston Coffee, and Menger Brand Finest Peaberry Coffee. A giant looping arrow points down at a printed 5¢ Advertising Coupon redeemable at any grocer “Today or Saturday” — expiring at midnight February 15th, 1930. The headline slogan “We roast it, others praise it” runs across the top; the “It’s Roasted Better in San Antonio” diamond sits at the lower middle.

This is the clearest pre-Crystalvac (1932) primary-source snapshot of Hoffmann-Hayman’s then-current three-brand portfolio and in-can premium mechanic: cash coupons inside H and H and Menger Brand cans; packed glassware (water glasses, imported cups and saucers) inside Sam Houston Coffee cans. The in-can / coupon-redemption model is already mature decades before the 1961 Master Chef appreciation-certificate / trading-stamp program (HH-CLIP-1961-0005 through HH-CLIP-1961-0007).
