Interesting facts about
La Touraine (Extra) Coffee

1t is the largest-sellins coffee in New
England, the birthplace of fine coffees
in America. In this home Of exactins
coffee critics, it is considered the
supreme result of 737 years of coffee
development.
Ii is the coffee served In many dining
places famous for their coffces. In all
Statler Hotels, for instance. In the
magnificent Shorthand of Chicago. In
countless country homes which study
fine hospitality. 4
The blend combines the four finest
coffees that grow. Each comes from a
different country, each is the pride of a
nation. Each derives its excellent flavor
from one of the rarest soils of the earth.
Three Of the coffees combined in this
blend cost 500 more than ordinary
coffee, and $50 more than Sac Paulo,
the prize coffee of Brazil. One is so rare
that only $4,000 bags are grown yearly.
