Iced coffee — San Antonio Express-News, 22 Apr 1924
The San Antonio Express-News of 22 April 1924 (page 13) runs a short house column on iced coffee under the H. & H. / Hoffmann-Hayman name: brew fresh, pour over chipped ice, treat cream in the cup before icing, and a closing jab that Americans still take hot coffee with cream and sugar for dinner.

ICED COFFEE.
There’s really only one way to make iced coffee. If coffee sets a long time, if anybody is so foolish as to use the left-over coffee for iced coffee, the result is disastrous.
The H. & H. Coffee Company says the coffee must be made fresh, after your regular formula; and must be served while it is fresh. Put the chipped ice in the glasses. Pour the coffee into a cup, add the cream, let set for a minute, then pour over the ice in the glass. The hot coffee cooks the cream and adds to the flavor of the coffee. Black coffee is very palatable iced. Many persons who insist on cream in hot coffee, prefer it black, when iced.
But regardless of hot weather, according to the Hoffman-Hayman Coffee Company, the national dinner drink for the American people is hot coffee, with plenty of cream and enough sugar to drive us all into an early grave.
