White House Coffee And Teas

 

"White House" Coffee is a gem among Coffees—far and away superior to most other brands and better than the best. This above cut—of the White House at Washington—is on the label of every can of "White House" Coffee and identifies it as a typical, highest-grade, and eminently superior quality of that well-known and well-loved berry which has always proved a blessing to humanity—in every country, and every clime. Ask your grocer to bring you "White House "Coffee. Insist—if necessary.

"White House" coffee is never sold in bulk but always in 1 or 2 lb. airtight tin cans, and it may be had either whole or ground.

"White House" Coffee is roasted and packed solely by our house [1] and may be depended on as being not only the best coffee obtainable but also the only one that never varies in quality or flavor.
