H and H Blend display ad — The Rattler (St. Mary’s), 9 Mar 1926, page 4
Page 4 of The Rattler (San Antonio, Tex.), Vol. 7, No. 11, Tuesday, 9 March 1926 — the student paper of St. Mary’s College — carries a Hoffmann-Hayman H and H Blend retail advertisement in the same column as two unrelated local display ads. The Blend block uses the familiar “We roast It—others praise It” slogan, the H AND H monogram with Blend Coffee shoulder copy, a drawn cylindrical tin showing H AND H BLEND COFFEE on the label, and the footer HOFFMANN-HAYMAN COFFEE CO: San Antonio, Texas. A small circular printer’s mark with “P” and “-260” sits at the lower right of the ad panel.
