One of the few incoming cargoes of today is coffee, and up to eleven months ago practically no coffee had been imported through the Port of Portland. Here's the eleven months' record of your Port land roasters: November, 1920, 99,000 lbs. February, 1921, 462,000 lbs. June, 1921, 673,200 lbs. August, 1921, 1,190,850 lbs. Your home port prospers in proportion as you help by insisting that OREGON TRADE MARK COFFEES are used on your table. Mr. Man Your wife prob ably buys the coffee, but maybe she didn't see this ad. As a loyal citizen, talk it over with her there'll be ho argument.
