When men wore clothes like these,
Charles ii. of England issued a
proclamation suppressing coffee
houses. He considered them shot
beds of sedition " and dangerous to
the public peace.
Times have changed since then.
In these days benevolent persons
establish coffee houses, having
learned that they promote the public
welfare. The reason for this is that
they drink coffee at home them
selves, and know its virtue.
Perhaps if it had been possible
for King Charles to have known
such coffee as we have to-day, the
kind that is sold by Chase & San
born, he would have done different.
No one can fail to be benefited
