“A Brand for Every Demand” — Hoffmann-Hayman 1934 product census ad, San Antonio Light, 16 March 1934
Hoffmann-Hayman display ad from the San Antonio Light of Friday, 16 March 1934 featuring an explicit tabletop product census of the firm’s 1934 portfolio under the slogan “A BRAND FOR EVERY DEMAND.” Nine SKU lines are printed in two columns; a near-complete packaging silhouette of the line sits above the type. This is one of the cleanest dated 1934 portfolio attestations for Hoffmann-Hayman, confirming the full set of four named coffee brands (H and H Blend, Sam Houston, Menger Brand, Texas Girl) at the same retail moment, plus the sister-brand lines (Orange Pekoe Tea, Old Dutch Lunch Mustard, Spices, Extracts).
