H and H Blend display crop — The Rattler, 9 Mar 1926
This crop pulls the Hoffmann-Hayman retail block out of the 9 March 1926 Rattler column (St. Mary’s student paper, San Antonio): the “We roast It—others praise It” slogan in script, the black bar with tall H AND H and Blend Coffee script, the tilted cylindrical tin showing H AND H BLEND COFFEE on the label, and the footer HOFFMANN-HAYMAN COFFEE CO. San Antonio, Texas. It matches the same Blend display vocabulary the firm ran in the daily press that decade—here aimed at a college readership beside unrelated local ads on the same page.
