This popularity lies in tho fact that Hills Bros. ColTeo has a deli cious, uniform flavor such as no jther coffee has. While the raro slend is partly responsible for this, :he patented process, by which it :s roasted, is one factor that has made this matchless, uniform fla vor possible in every pound. Instead of roasting in bulk, Hills Bros, roast only a few pounds at a time. By this process the de gree of roast, the continuous flow f coffee through the roasters, never vary. Hence the name of this proc sss Controlled Roasting. Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee. It is always fresh because it is packed in vacuum :ans from which air, which de stroys tho flavor of coffee, is taken jut and kept out. Ordinary cans, sven if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh.
