More San Antonio housewives are using H. and H. coffee — Light, 21 Feb 1930
Women’s-page style feature from the San Antonio Light for Friday, 21 February 1930 (page 21), headlined “MORE SAN ANTONIO HOUSEWIVES ARE USING H. AND H. COFFEE.” The column mixes company history, civic good-will, and home-industry themes (subheads PLANT EXPANDS, SPREAD GOOD-WILL, HOME INDUSTRY), then prints several coffee recipes specifying H and H. Surrounding ads (Fehr cake, Metzger’s milk, vitamine column) remain visible in the export—only the highlighted Hoffmann-Hayman column is the intake subject.
