content: Consists of seven volumes documenting the company's products and packaging.  Six of the scrapbooks are conventionally sewn and are relatively small compared to the scrapbooks referred to by the company as its historical albums in subseries two.  These volumes contain circulars, labels, postcards, advertising cards, and printed advertisements for teas and spices in addition to coffee. The other scrapbook contains newspaper clippings documenting the introduction of the company's high yield coffee in 1978. All scrapbooks are in good condition and the contents remain securely attached to the pages.  Given the sound condition of the volumes, the only preservation measure that was taken was to box them.  The scrapbooks are arranged by the number assigned to them by the company and then in chronological order.
