The clip is a narrow-column Austin filings piece: a slab sans-serif LOCAL FIRM GETS CHARTER headline, serif subhead and body naming The Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company of San Antonio and $20,000 stock, then Express bureau copy and a run of other Texas charters beneath—useful for placing the merged house in the February 1912 charter news alongside oil, grocery, and publishing filings.

The 6 February 1912 San Antonio Express-News (page 5) reprints from the Express Austin bureau the filing of a charter for The Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company of San Antonio: $20,000 capital stock (with three-fourths paid in), general merchandising, incorporators W. E. Hayman, Mrs. William R. Hoffmann, and Gustave Menger, first-year board adding J. C. Neeley, and a fifty-year term.
