PLANT OUTPUT IS INCREASED
Extensive improvements, designed to increase capacity of output, recently have been made in the big, modern plant of the Hoffman-Hayman Coffee company, 401 Delaware street. These improvements were necessitated by the ever-increasing popularity of and public demand for H and H San Antonio and Texas Girl coffees, according to Gus P. Menger, official of Hoffman-Hayman company.
Thirty-three years ago the first H and H product was sold in San Antonio. Today the Hoffman-Hayman Coffee company is one of the leaders in the industry in the Southwest.
H and H coffee is obtainable in three different packs: the economical paper bag, the vacuum can or the vacuum jar, and can be had in drip grind for glass brewer and all drip and regular grind for percolators.
Texas Girl coffee is sold in either the drip grind or regular grind.
At the Hoffman-Hayman plant special machinery has been installed to provide just the right grind for all requirements. Scrupulous sanitation is maintained and every product of the company reaches the consumer absolutely clean and pure.
Throughout its many years of operation, the slogan, “We Roast It, Others Praise It,” has identified H and H coffee to the public.
