COFFEE
VS.
To put 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 stand for twenty-five percent unnecessary waste.
Remember also that paying our now exorbitant freight
rates 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
