ATLANTA, Nov. 15.—With the ar

day to legislation pending in the na

About Packing Coffee
pOR over seventy years we have been selecting;
roasting, and marketing high grade coffees,
naturally, one of our biggest problems was how
to place our coffee in perfect condition in the
hands of our customers*
We * x P criraent ed with cans and hermetically
sealed bags, and the high cost of the one offset
the inefficiency of the other. We refused to
include the expense of the can in the price of the
coffee. And cans cost money.
At *“ st disc °vered that coffee double-sealed
and double-packed preserved all the coffee aroma,
a.l the flavor, all the goodness, so that it comes to
you as fresh and fragrant as it comes from our
big roasting ovens.
