Speaking of the advantages Of
his business, Mr.. Foote says:
Did you ever stop TO think
how long some coffees have laid
around the store or in the whole
sale house before you bought
them? This is the reason that
the same grade of coffee does not
always seem the same. We have
our own equipment and We roast
our coffee right near the window
where you can see it done every
day. They are always fresh
roasted and never stale. We use
the latest improved electric cof-
fee mill. We do not grind our
coffees. They are steel cut. uni
form, eliminating dust which is
the cause of muddy coffee in
other coffees.
