i'largc food product, manufacturer has
shown n spirit of cooperation and
sympathy with citizens of the val
ley and their problems, which, in
! the opinion of club members, is de-
serving of hearty commcndation and
the most loyal appreciation. The
opportunity to respond in kind is
unique in that it is to the personal
advantage of valley residents under

into consideration that there are
approximately 10000 coffee con
sumers in the valley. that the prod
net offered in this sale is stand
ard brand of the finest Favored cof-
fee possible to produce, the valley
should be able to absorb 10000
pounds of coffee necessary to col

Joanncs Corporation does not in any
way affect the opportunity To Sc
