How French Market Coffee
Became the
National Drink Of the South!

shipments are made to every store hand
ling it, SO that while other cofees may
stay on the grocers' shelves for some con-
siderable period before being sold, you
can always rely on French Market Coffee
being fresh stock and but short time
on the grocers' shelves, because it sells SO
much quicker than any other coffee that
has ever been sold in the South.
Think what it means to you to be able
to go to any grocery store in the South,
order can of French Market Coffee and
be sure of obtaining this identical, famous
old blend, ABSOLUTELY fresh from the won
derful French Market Mills, which were
built expressly to roast and perpetuate
the genuine French Market Coffee.
Approaching the honor the Southern
people have paid them-in making French
Market Coffee the National Drink of the
South-the directors of the French Market
Mills will continue to rigidly maintain
the standard Of this famous old blend
which in future, as in the past, they guar
antee shall in every way be worthy of
it's reputation as the National Drink of
the South.

For over a hundred years this coffee has
been known throughout America, because
French coffee, with all it's original flavor,
for over hundred years has been served
at the old French Market in New Orleans
Andrew Jackson refreshed his troops
with it after his famous victory. Henry
Clay was entertained in the old Hotel
Royalnear-by,w when coffee from the French
Market was served. The beaus and bellies
of the old-time Mardi Gras seasons always
adjourned to the old French Market at
midnight for coffee, for the peculiar fea-
ture of the old French Market blend is that
while mildly stimulating, it is always con-
sidered a healthful beverage to be drank
even at midnight.
Naturally this old blend of coffee, which
could be had nowhere else but at the
French Market, became famous through
out America. But it was not until the
invention of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS pack
age, a comparatively few years ago, and

Mills to roast this Identical blend by
{ ,cial machinery that this coffee could

At once the demand for this coffee
spread throughout the South, for in most
houses in almost every town in the South
there is someone who has heard of this
famous old blend, through their parents
or grandparents. Today, in almost every
section of the South, you will find French
Market Coffee has tremendous sale
So much s. that the stores handling it
are always able to deliver it fresh to their
customers, because the demand for French
