Tea and Coffee should always be in your home. It's a beverage that is not only healthful, but it is a neces- sity. Tea is generally stimulant to the nervous and circulatory systems. And did you ever take notice how quick cup of rightly made, nice tasting tea chases away drowsiness and generally makes the brain and senses more alert? Sure you have. We'll, tell your friends about it so that they may be happy also. And for coffee, who is it that can start out in the morning to do his days work without first drinking one or two cups of fresh made coffee (we mean the kind we sell. It certainly is the proper bracer to begin the day
 Of course we know there are lots of men folks who prefer different kind of a "bracer" in the morning, but you can take our word for it them fellows are very foolish fellows; they know not what they are doing to their systems until it's too late. Take our advice and commence tomorrow morning and use only the coffee sold at our store and see if our advice is a good one. We have few more of those green cups, saucers and plates which we give with pound of our warranted good 50-cent Tea. And when they are gone you'll get no more of them.
