H and H Blend one-pound tin and flavor-in-the-cup banner — branding crop, San Antonio Light, 8 Jan 1932
Vertical crop isolating the lower banner and pack illustration from the 8 January 1932 San Antonio Light (page 25) display ad. A dark vertical column carries three banner tabs — “You drink Coffee / only for the flavor / in the cup!” — each paired with a small steaming-cup line drawing descending toward a frontal view of a one-pound H AND H BLEND Coffee tin (medium ground, Roasted and Packed by HOFFMANN-HAYMAN COFFEE CO., SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, marked PURE COFFEE).
The image preserves the early-1932 H AND H Coffee tin lockup — paired slab-serif H letters with AND stacked between, BLEND band, and the script Coffee — months before the Crystalvac glass jar would enter the same advertising layouts in June 1932.
