They are sanitary — H and H tins — San Antonio Light, 26 Aug 1923

The San Antonio Light of 26 August 1923 (page 65) runs a trade column “They Are Sanitary” on Hoffmann-Hayman’s lithographed tins for coffee, tea, and spices—half- through three-pound coffee sizes in red, white, and blue with slogans such as “We roast it, others praise it.” The page (Newspapers.com 1258680708) is the same broadsheet as the Globe Folding Box ad and the P. J. Smith clip, with different crops.

The item promotes Hoffmann–Hayman packaging in tin (versus loose paper) for coffee, tea, spices, and related lines, noting half- through three-pound coffee sizes, “attractively lithographed” in red, white, and blue, and slogans on panels including “We roast it, others praise it” and “You’ll praise it, too” (as on the can art described in the type).
