Over a ton of Arbuckles' Ariosa Coffee is roasted at a time, in a large revolving cylinder, which drops the coffee through heat again and again until each bean is uniformly roasted. No other coffee is in suffi cient demand to afford such scientific and perfect prepara tion. The sales of Arbuckles' Ariosa Coffee exceed the sales of all other packaged coffees combined, and this scientific roasting, which no other coffee can afford, by its very magni tude, reduces our cost to a minimum, and enables us, with our other advant ages, to give better value in Arbuckles' Ariosa Coffee than is possible for any one else. Arbuckles’ Ariosa Coffee is the cheapest good coffee in the world, and the best of all for you. XRBUCKLE BROS.. New York CUy. T IT DIN FRIDAY The death of John A.
