Full-page display ad announcing the launch of the 2-pound H and H Flav-O-Tainer package — “Guards Rich Flavor For ‘Family’ Coffee Buyers!” — as an extension of the best-selling 1-pound Flav-O-Tainer. The two-pound format uses the same exclusive cellophane inner lining, waterproof and air-tight. The popular one-pound format is also shown alongside. Tagline: “Here’s The Only Coffee At Your Grocers — That Stays Vacuum Fresh In Paper Packages!”
