Spoon Coffee
Spoon Coffee was a Morrison Coffee Company label that Hoffmann-Hayman carried forward after the February 1917 Morrison acquisition (see the Brands index footnote). It appears on published wholesale and display-ad rosters alongside Broncho, Border, Wesco, and house lines such as H and H Blend. The museum does not yet hold physical packaging for Spoon; the clearest period artwork on the site is a newspaper crop from the 26 August 1923 San Antonio Light products spread, where Spoon is drawn as a consumer pack in the same grid as Blend, Broncho, Border, and related lines.
Products
Period copy elsewhere on the site inventories Spoon at retail scale with other one-pound identities. Treat formats below as working hypotheses until tins or bags surface:
- Spoon Coffee — one-pound package (the 1923 display art reads as a small retail bag or carton, consistent with neighboring panels in that ad)
Packaging
No collection object is catalogued yet. This illustrated pack from the housewife-praise products display is the current reference for trade dress.

Spoon remains on the Wanted list until a photographed tin, bag, pail, or sales sheet can be verified. Period ads outside the 1923 spread still help—see contact.
