“A Brand for Every Demand” — Hoffmann-Hayman 1934 product census ad — SA Light, 16 March 1934

Hoffmann-Hayman display ad in the San Antonio Light of Friday, 16 March 1934 featuring an explicit tabletop product census of the firm’s 1934 portfolio with the slogan “A BRAND FOR EVERY DEMAND” at top. Lists nine SKU lines in two columns:

Column 1 Column 2
H and H Blend Coffee H and H Orange Pekoe Tea
Sam Houston Coffee H and H Old Dutch Lunch Mustard
Menger Brand Coffee H and H Spices
Texas Girl Coffee H and H Extracts

Tagline: “Famous H AND H Products / Include a Brand for Every Demand / These Quality Products Are Being Featured by San Antonio Grocers / Packed and Guaranteed by HOFFMANN-HAYMAN COFFEE CO., SAN ANTONIO.”

This is one of the cleanest dated 1934 portfolio attestations for Hoffmann-Hayman — confirming the full set of four named coffee brands (H and H Blend, Sam Houston, Menger Brand, Texas Girl) at the same retail moment, plus the sister-brand lines (Orange Pekoe Tea, Old Dutch Lunch Mustard, Spices, Extracts). The visual silhouette of all nine SKUs together is a useful packaging-history reference for the period.

Note: Sam Houston Tea is also visible on the leftmost edge of the tabletop silhouette, even though it is not listed in the printed two-column SKU list — confirming a then-current 1934 Sam Houston Tea SKU that may have been omitted from the printed list for layout reasons.
