UNUSUAL THRILL
IN RARE COFFEE
Patented Roasting Process
Gives Hills Bros. Coffee
Distinctive Flavor

By : a radically different prooesa
of flavor-control, Hills Bros, have
given thoir- rare blend of coffee a
flavor such as no other coffee has.
"A little at a time" is tho basis
of this patented process Con
troljed Boasting. A : constant
stream of green coffee is introduced
into the roasters in automatically
measured lots of about three
pounds, and passes through in a
steady flow, roasting a little at a
time. The heat is automatically
controlled so any variation in the
roast is absolutely prevented.
Such uniformity of the roast is
not possible by bulk methods. In
spite of watchful care some of the
coffee is roasted too much some
too littlo. Flavor variation is there
fore, 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 tho can, and kept out.
Ordinary cans, even if air-tiglil,
will not keep coffee fresh. Ask for
Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look
for the Arab the trade-mark on
tho can. Sold everywhere by grocers.
