“DO YOU KNOW? Special Fine Grind H and H Coffee” — Hoffmann-Hayman product-line ad, The News, 2 June 1933

Display ad in The News (San Antonio) of Friday, 2 June 1933 announcing the Special Fine Grind SKU of H and H Coffee (“for use where fine grind or pulverized coffee is desired”) sold in addition to the standard medium grind. The lower half of the ad is a six-SKU product-line silhouette identifying the broader Hoffmann-Hayman line at this date — H and H Tea, H and H Blend Coffee (1-lb can), H and H Blend Coffee (Crystalvac glass jar), Cafe Coffee, H and H Spices, and a small flavoring/extract bottle.
This is a useful primary-source attestation of the Special Fine Grind as a discrete H and H Coffee variant in mid-1933, and a visual census of the post-Crystalvac (Nov 1932) H&H product portfolio.
