Wholesale package line — Wesco, H. & H., Broncho, Juanita, 19 Aug 1917

Sunday, 19 August 1917 San Antonio Express (Vol. 52, No. 231): a wholesale roster for Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company, self-described as the city’s largest roasters and exclusively wholesale dealers. The ad inventories Wesco, H. & H., Texco, Double H, Border, Broncho, Juanita, Big Dime, and Fancy Peaberry in specific cans, pails, and cartons; it also pitches bulk roasted and green stocks. The address prints as 307 North Medina Street—a digit that can shift in other ads, so the scan is a useful snapshot of pack architecture before U.S. war boards tightened supply rhetoric later in the year.
