Narrow newspaper strip with “More Coffee Fruit of Allied Sub Victories,” “Coffee Rationing to End,” and related wartime food ads

This narrow column crop from the same page as the H and H Flav-O-Tainer ad documents national coffee politics in mid-1943: coverage tied to Allied anti-submarine successes, an end date for coffee rationing, and a roaster stocks photo story quoting industry figures (visible text names Hills Bros. leadership — not Hoffmann-Hayman). It belongs in the archive as context for how San Antonio readers saw coffee next to local brand advertising.
