ITO achieve this we must appeal 10

that Prof. Moulin represented Italian

MILLIONS ENJOY UNUSUAL THRILL
 IN RARE COFFEE
Patented Roasting Process Gives Hills Bros. Coffee
 Distinctive Flavor

By a radically different process of flavor Hills Bros. have given their rare blend of coffee a flavor such as no other coffee has.
 "A little at time" is the basis of this patented process-Con- trolled Roasting. A constant stream of green coffee is introduced into the roasters in automatically measured lots of about three pounds, and passes through in a steady flow, roasting a little at a time. The heat is automatically controlled so any variation in the roast is absolutely prevented. Such uniformity of the roast is not possible by bulk methods. In spite of watchful care some of the coffee is roasted too much-some too little. Flavor variation is there fore inevitable.
 As fast as Hills Bros. Coffee is roasted, it is ground and packed in vacuum. By this process air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken from the can, and kept out. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, will not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trade-mark-on the can. Sold everywhere by grocers.
