COFFEE BY TIE ToN.-We are inform
ed by Messrs. S. NJ. Bloom & Co., that
they have just received from the Messrs.
Arbuckle Bros, the great coffee roast
ers of the United States, $4,000 pounds
OF their various brands of roasted coffee,
all put up in one pound packages.
The above amount is equal to tons.
This is simply an astonishing fact. and
when we consider such vast quantity
of coffee we are at loss 10 know what
they would do with it. But Bloom "
Co., tell US that they have ordered on
another lot.
This statement is an evidence at once
that the essential properties of good cof-
fee, namely; strength, purity aud rich
ness of flavor, are all appreciated by our
people.
The Messrs. Arbuckle roast several
brands of coffee called Paska, Quaker
City, Marsh aud Ariosa, all of which
are sold by our merchants. The Ariosa
brand is their best, however, and has
"Arbuckle Bros" name on the pack
age.
Tie already great and increasing de-
maud for the above cctfees is as much
a surprise to S. Bloom 81 Co, as it is to
our readers.-Hagersfo,on Nous.
