COFFEE
Coffee has become the most
popular beverage in the world,
simply because it appeals to a
natural taste rather than to
an acquired appetite. It
serves both as food and drink.
Public opinion is now, ever
was, and ever shall be strongly
and emphatically in favor of
coffee. It is approved by men
apd women everywhere by
all classes by all America.
Coffee is the comfort and
solace of the millions. It, is
cheering, soothing, sustaining
and satisfying. Who will deny
its rare charm and rich flavor?

Who can resist the aroma, the
"bouquet" of a fragrant cup
of good coffee?
Coffee is a man's drink. A
comfy, chummy, clubby drink
a social, convivial', "good
fellow" drink. Wherever men
meet to dine or deliberate
there is coffee.
So, naturally, coffee is en
throned. The good old-fashioned
coffee-houses are already
being revived, the meeting

men and women, too, may find
rest, refreshment, relaxation"
and good company.
