Say— that H and H is good coffee — San Antonio Evening News, 9 Dec 1921
A San Antonio Evening News display ad from Friday, 9 December 1921 shows a formally dressed man with a mustache, steaming cup in hand, beside a one-pound H and H Blend Coffee Medium Ground tin illustrated with vertical H & H on the side panels. The copy plays on the roaster’s familiar “We roast it— others praise it” line and stresses prepacked ½-lb., 1-lb., and 3-lb. packages, never sold in bulk—a useful retail snapshot next to the 1922 grinds-and-sizes matrix note and the H and H Blend page. The full scan is in the Newspaper Clippings gallery.
