compelled 10 supply those parties. THIS
COFFEE HAS BECOME so POPULAR
with our customers and their sales have
increased 10 such an extent that we have
been compelled 10 make large additions TO
our machinery, which will enable as 10

more than a century in Paris, and since
its introduction into this country, il has
been in use by some of the leading French
Restaurants here. The Parisiaus are said
10 be the best judges of coffee; and the
grea, favor in which it is held by them is
the best recommendation that can be pros
duced for It's fine flavor and healthy effects
upon the human system.
We put up but one grade Of this coffee,
and that is of a quality that our customers
have found from experience will give per.

We do all our business on the most ex.

We put up this coffee in barrels only, OF
I25 pounds each. This method of putting
il up saves from 2 10 5 cents per pound 10
the customer, and by its being in a large
quantity IL retains lis fine flavor much
longer in this form than in any other. We
