Thank you and H and H Appreciation Month — The News, 19 Oct 1934
The News of 19 October 1934 (page 18) runs a thirtieth-anniversary “H and H Appreciation Month” spread: comic housewife exchange, the “we roast them, others praise them” band, Sam Houston, H–H Blend, and Texas Girl artwork, and a view of the Hoffmann–Hayman works. It is a separate campaign from the 1937 Light “Thank you” arc in this collection.
