'sTHE OLD DOMINION.,,

C o FF e E POT.
mt AN Y modes have been adopted, and
1Vl ingenious contrivances brought forth,
particularly French ideas, for the prepara-
ton of Coffee for the Table--to make it pala-
table, healthy and economical. But the de-
sideratum-a Coffee Pot for the million-that
would never fail to yield good coffee, remain
ed to be produced by the never-failing Yam
kee Nation, and comes forth from Virginia
the Old Dominion-and hence the name it
bears.
PECULIAR ADVANTAGES.
The coffee made in this boiler is ALWAYS
palatable because there is no loss of the flavor
OF the coffee by evaporation, as in the ordi-
nary boiler, always healthy, because the bit
ter principle of the coffee is held in subiec-
ton to the aromatic, by means of the con-
denser; always economical, because being
boiled, the full strength of the grain is ex.
tracted-which is not the case with the ordi-
nary French strainer-the saving being from
rs to 80 per cent.
