H and H Coffee Promotional Paper Napkin — Sam Houston & Texas Girl

A promotional paper napkin printed in red and blue on cream stock, unfolded to show the full label design. The layout is a square rotated on the diagonal, with “H AND H Coffee” running across the middle and the mottoes “A Brand For Every Demand” and “We Roast It. Others Praise It.” filling the diagonal bands. Each corner triangle doubles as a brand vignette — a bust of Sam Houston in his ruff collar with the “Sam Houston” flourish signature, a medallion portrait of the Texas Girl, and plain-text labels for the two coffee lines. Paper ephemera like this rarely survives in any condition, and even a single used, wrinkled napkin is a catch because it documents the graphic treatment H and H used on its counter-service supplies.
