enable them to pay for their homes with

DELICIOUS COFFEE
Made in a Minute.
The Inventor of the Cele-
brated Minute Cof-
fee Pot

has asked us to introduce it
in Fort Worth, as we did in

sented to do so.
On Monday we will take
pleasure in presenting all
who may favor us with a call
with a cup of coffee made be-
fore their eyes, and in less
than one minute. We feel
sure you have never tasted
finer coffee in your own house
nor any as good away from
home.
