Over 400 grocers sell H. & H. Coffee—San Antonio Evening News, 15 March 1920

The San Antonio Evening News for Monday, 15 March 1920 runs a large H. & H. Coffee placement built around a one-pound H and H Blend tin cut and a headline that over 400 grocers in San Antonio handle the line—the rest of the space is a six-column roster of stores—framed by copy asking readers to look the list over and call on their grocer for H. & H. Blend. The footer gives Hoffmann-Hayman at 307 N. Medina and a Crockett phone string matching other early ads. The scan lives in the Newspaper Clippings gallery.
