ROASTING CAN MAKE [
 OR SPOIL THE
 FLAVOR OF COFFEE
Hills Bros Patented Process Removes Risk of Ruiping Roast Assures Match
 less Flavor, Always

Roasting determines the flavor of coffee. Too much or too little can cause dissatisfaction. But there IS a perfect degree of roast! Hills Bros. invented and patented proc ess that insures that degree for every pound. It is called Controlled Roasting.
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow !. little at time 7. so a perfect, llnvarying degree of roast is secured for Hills Bros. Coffee by Controlled Roasting =. the patented process that roasts evenly, con- tinuously ... O little at q time. The rare blend passes through the roast CTS in a steady, unvarying stream. And instead of guessing = as is necessary with ordinary, bulk meth ods- Hills Bros. control the tenn perature of the roast automatically. Every berry is perfectly roasted. As result, every pound has a matchless, unvarying flavor.
 To keep this delicious coffee fresh, Hills Bros. pack it in vacuum cans. Air, which makes coffee go stale, is removed and kept out of the cans. Ordinary, "air-tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can't go stale. Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trademark on the can. q z
