of life. They v..--e using a popular 29c blend,
and thought it exceptionally good. Prior to
that 36c, 38c, 40c the extortionate prices of
exclusive stores had been paid; because it
seemed that price was a natural guarantee of
quality. They're coffee-wise now; they know
the subtle delicacy of coffee-flavor as found in
a deliciously invigorating cup. They're using
Winner Brand. v
This Famous Coffee is 29c a pound. So
far as we know, there's not a Forty-cent Value
anywhere surpassing it in distinctive cup
quality. The best coffees grown go into the
blending, and it's always, the same rich,
smooth, delicious product a coffee that
induces the critical drinker to ask for a second
cup. We're saying all the sprightly things we
can about it; and our Glenside friends are
telling their neighbors, and so it goes through
