Full display — H and H products, factory photos, and line list; San Antonio Light, 26 Aug 1923, page 66

A San Antonio Light full display on 26 August 1923 (page 66) for Hoffmann Hayman Coffee Co.: headline “H AND H Products earn the Praise of the Housewife Everywhere”, with two interior photos captioned “HUGE H AND H ROASTERS” (over the roaster image) and “AUTOMATIC WEIGHER AND PACKER” (over the bagging-line image), flanked by ten illustrated product columns for H and H Coffee, Texco, Spoon, Broncho, Menger Peaberry, H and H Cocoa, H and H Spices, H and H Tea, H and H Extracts, and Border. Footer: 331 Burnett St. — S.P. Tracks, San Antonio, Texas — Housewives and grocers are invited to inspect our plant.

The same issue includes a Hoffmann–Hayman trade display on page 64 (Monitor coffee roasting clip) naming Huntley Manufacturing Co. Monitor roasting and grading machinery—that ties Huntley equipment explicitly to this factory automatic / roasting story.
