COFFEE !!
Price Csc Pound

Farmers wives know how
to make a good cup of coffee,
and if you have a first-class
article which you offer them
at a, fair price, they generally
appreciate it. / wish to call
attention to my new brand of
HJavo" Coffee. This is a fine
blended coffee which i can
offer you at the very low price
of 25c a pound. This places
it within the reach of all, and
we expect for this coffee a
large sale among the farmers
of this county. The "Javo'
coffee at 25cand our "Owosso"
Japan Tea at 25c we defy
anyone to match, and we will
see that they are always kept
up to their present high stand
ard of quality. Get sample
Of this tea, try it, and tell
your friends about it, and
get them to try it, for it is
certainly a great bargain.
