This 1920 San Antonio Evening News piece leads with a drawn one-pound H AND H BLEND COFFEE tin “ROASTED AND PACKED BY HOFFMANN-HAYMAN COFFEE CO. SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS,” then gives short brewing directions (fresh roast, boiling water, one tablespoon of “H & H Blend” per cup) and closes with dealer availability and the roaster line. It belongs with the other early Blend press examples in the Newspaper Clippings gallery.
