Grocers The Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company’s contribution to the convenience of Christmas shoppers and to the practical solution of the traditional holiday gift problem is presented this year in an interesting and unique form. This firm, pioneer roasters and blender of fine coffees, has prepared a specially packed, beautiful, cellophane wrapped package containing six separate and distinct items of the famous H and H brand products. The holiday gift package, according to G. P.

The items included in the pack- age are one 1-pound jar of H and H Coffee vacuum packed in glass; one jar of H and H vacuum packed Chili Powder; one jar of H and H New Dutch Lunch Mustard; one half-pound jar of H .d H Orange Pekoe Tea; one package of H and H Ground Black Pepper; and one bottle of H and H Extract of Vanilla. The articles were selected for their practical and common-sense value, Mr. Menger explained, and each product bears our rigid guar- antee of quality. Altogether, he said, the package constitutes as delightful and appropriate a gift as could be desired. Holiday shoppers are urged to visit the display at their nearest grocery. The Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company have specialized in the roasting and blending of choice coffees in San Antonio for over a quarter of a century and house- wives of this entire area have come to appreciate the uniformity and constant freshness of the H and H brands. It is therefore due to pressing demands for H and H gift packages during previous holiday seasons that the firm has produced its attractive Christmas special for the convenience of its patrons. After years of successful coffee roasting the firm launched into the production and distribution of choice spices under the familiar and popular H and H label and at the present time are among the largest wholesalers of spices and extracts in the South. Executives and personnel of the Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Com- pany, through its president, extend to everyone cordial felicitations for a most joyous holiday season.
