enormous importations. The mana
ger here, Mr.. F. W. J. Hurst, is the
terror of his rivals, for he gets the
bulge on them in business every time.
When all the lines get in comforta-
bic rut, he bounces them out of it.
He gets special rates from the rail
roads and gives special terms for
freight. His ships are always full,
going and coming. Some of the
others are not. Freights have been
ruling low of late, and the lines have
offered to take grain as ballast free.
Mr.. Hurst saw this move and went
better. He has been paying for his
ballast. For bringing cargoes in
good condition and for safety and
comfort for passengers, the National
Line is unsurpassed. 1t has never
lost a ship or a life.
Have you had any number "a or
Al? This question you might hear
in almost any circle in New York
nowadays, and I'll tell you why.
Reliable quality coupled with judici-
Gus advertising has done it. You
see on almost every billboard, ash
barrel, side-wall, or other conspicu
Gus place in the city, hundreds of
small yellow bills, with sThurber's
"a or Al Delicious Coffee" printed on
them. They are everywhere, and
people of all grades and the great
house of Thurber & Co. have profit
ed by the introduction of these grades
of coffee. Extensive travel. by Mr..
F. B. Thurber in coffee producing
countries, coupled with an intimate
knowledge of American tastes, has
resulted in giving the American peo-
pie a better cup of coffee than they
ever before had, and these particu-
lar kinds of coffee are carefully put
up in attractive pound packages, each
containing the Thurber recipe for
making coffee, and sold everywhere.
If they haven't reached your grocer
yet they are sure to come, for this
new departure amounts to a revolu-
fior, ~, ha tpoIo
of Thurber's coffee in pound pack
ages (roasted but not ground) must
be as certain with you as it has been
here. AS a further inducement to
dealers handsome show card, re-
presenting coffee growing on the tree,
is presented to every grocer. 1t is
handsomely mounted and framed,
and is most interesting and instruc-
tive picture. Everybody knows what
poor cup of coffee is, while few
know what good one is, but there
is no excuse now for not having
something better than you've ever
had. If your readers are as fond of
coffee as your Radix is they will bless
both the man who has introduced
these coffees and me for telling them
about it. If you want strong pun
gent cup of coffee order the "a. The
number Al is composed of milder aud
rich favored coffees.
