COFFEE IIS. 1
To pul coffee up in tin cans at least one quarter of the selling
price is the cost that you pay for the tin. Under present conditions
you should endeavor to obtain one hundred percent food value for your
money.
Why gland for twenty-five per cent unnecessary waste.
Remember also that paying our now exorbitant freight rate in
addition to the cost of the tin can, a minute reflection will assure you
that no coffee dealer will be in a position to give you the required food
values.
Our Fresh Roasted coffee at a lower price should convince any
one to use it at all times against the high cost stale canned coffees.
