Make Your Own Coffee at the Table You Need Not Bother With a Coffee Pot How much more convenient It would be if you couid make coffee right at the table. Think of the time gained, the steps saved, the extra bother and fuss eliminated! All this is possible—if you use Hires Instant Soluble Coffee. This was first made for our soldiers in France, who required good coffee that could be easily made. And so thoroughly did Hires Instant Soluble Coffee meet every requirement, Sti 2-3 per cent, of all the coffee contracted for by the American Army, in the trenches, was Hires. We could noi supply more because our facilities would not permit. Hires Instant Soluble Coffee is the dried pure juice of carefully selected coffee beans of Java and Mocha blend. This clear, aromatic juice is merely converted into a powdered soluble form. The minute you add hot water you have your coffee as or iginally made, and if you prefer vour coffee iced you can have it, for Hires Instant Soluble Coffee dis solves instantly in ice water. And Hires Instant Soluble Coffee is the. concentrated juice of the coffee bean, for by an exclusive pro cess twice as much juice is taken from the coffee bean as is secured by the use of the coffee pot or perco lator. Because Hires Instant Soluble Cof fee is so easy to make you can make it right at the table, or can have a clear, fragrant cup any hour of the day or night. A small can of Hires Instant Soluble Coffee is equivalent to a pound of the best Mocha and Java coffee. The low price is due to the fact that with our exclusive process we extract lAO per cent, more juice from the bean than you can in mak ing coffee in the old way. Get it at all stores.
