One mistake many women make
in buying coffee

You know how hard it Is to get coffee which really
satisfies you. You know how seldom you can find a
coffee which has the same fine taste and strength
every morningl It can be done. You can do It if,
when you buy coffee, you are careful not to make
the mistakes so many women make. Read the ex-
periences below-you yourself have undoubtedly had
one or both of them.
Beware Of loose coffee
Are you buying coffee which you get loose coffee which
hasn't been protected by sealed package7
Are you afraid that isn't clear7 Has II lost ts aronaa7
Are you often disappointed in its strength
It isn't the grocers fault With loose coffee he can't be
sure that is the kind he got before You always run
the risk Of getting different coffee every you buy
And even If the coffee itself the same it can't be
kept loose without losing its strength and flavor.
In packages-protected!
You do away with every these disappontrnents
byorderng million other families drink
Arbuckles Coffee is such good coffee that way back
the sixties when all other coes the market
and unprotected Arbucke Bros protected theirs sealed
packages This sealed package keeps the coees strength
and guards moisture and store odors Most important
OF all makes for you be that you getting
the same good coffee every time you buy.
The second mistake women make
Old coffee with new names
Are you continually being offered same old under
new names? Under all sorts of new blends7
Did you stop to think of the hundreds of coees
which and 60 the arket7 And that all these have
tried to turn women away from Arbuckles' Coffee2
Arbuckles is the coffee which has gone right out always
under its name disguised and held simply
the wonderful value gave You know what good value
coffee be do this against the competition of all the
other coffees in Americal
Used III a million homes
Settle for all time your coffee problem by giving your
family the only coffee which million families have
proved to have the real coffee taste they want.
When you get Arbuckes' Coffee you get entirely diff
ferent coffee No other coffee goes through the process
in other coffee you get the good favor The
result of the Arbucke Brothers take in selecting it.

coffee from any other the market
