gency. 1t was accepted with thanks by
Chang Kat-Shek, head of the Nation

ed was inundated late in August. The

REVOLUTIONARY WAY
 TO ROAST COFFEE USED BY HILLS BROS
Controlled Roasting Just the Opposite of Ordinary Method

t By radically different roasting process = Controlled Roasting = Hills Bros. give their rare blend a flavor no other coffee has!
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow 4. little at time ... so the matchless, uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Con trolled Roasting - the patented process that roasts evenly, continu- ously e little at e time. While the coffee passes through the roast CTS, the heat is automatically con- trolled. Any variation in the roast is thus absolutely prevented!
 Such uniformity is not possible by bulk methods. In spite of watch ful care, some of the coffee is roasted too much - some too little. Flavor variation is therefore 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. Ordi- nary cans, even if 'air-tight," will not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name, and look for the Arab trademark on the can. Hills Bros.
