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

For over hundred years this coffee has
been known throughout America, because
French coffee, with all its original flavor,
for over hundred years has been served
a5G!ae old French Market in New Orleans
Andrew Jackson refreshed his troops
with it after his famous victory. Henry
Clay was entertained III the old Hotel
Royalnear-by,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 a -heFhletically-se pack
age, a comparatively few years ago, and
the establishment of the French Market
Mills to roast this identicals blend by
special machinery, that this coffee could
beshipped all over the United States.
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 so that the stores handling it
are always able to deliver it fresh to their
customers, because the demand for French
Market Coffee is so great that frequent
