H and H Special Fine Grind product-line ad — The News, 2 June 1933

Hoffmann-Hayman display ad announcing the Special Fine Grind SKU of H and H Coffee “for use where fine grind or pulverized coffee is desired” — sold in addition to the standard medium grind at “all good grocers.” The headline cluster reads “H AND H PRODUCTS — Highest Quality, Highest Value” above the call-out “DO YOU KNOW? that you can buy SPECIAL FINE GRIND H and H Coffee.”

The bottom of the ad shows a six-SKU product-line silhouette identifying the broader Hoffmann-Hayman line at this date:

  • H and H Tea (carton)
  • H and H Blend Coffee (1-lb can)
  • H and H Blend Coffee (Crystalvac glass jar — central figure)
  • Cafe Coffee (1-lb can)
  • H and H Spices (carton)
  • (small flavoring bottle)

Tagline at the bottom: “COFFEES • TEAS • SPICES AND EXTRACTS AT ALL GROCERS / Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company San Antonio, Texas.”

Documents the Special Fine Grind SKU as a distinct H and H Coffee variant in mid-1933 — useful for grind-availability research and for dating the maturity of the post-Crystalvac (1932) H&H product portfolio.
