There arc a lot of things about the coffee business that the public
doesn't know.
There are a lot of coffees of the "ten -karat" variety masquerading
as the "eighteen -karat" kind.
There can be no better coffee than
y&H Onto
SnnpeF-Qealliitly Cofiifee
It sells rejilarly at 40c. No "first quality coffee should sell for
more.
There might be times when a higher price would be justified but
not now.
"Green coffee" prices fluctuate just as does suar or flour and
any other staples. Due to a decreased demand in Europe, coffee
has been "down" for a whole year past. During part of this time
the "best" coffee could be retailed, with a reasonable profit, at 35c
in the home market and 40c in distant markets. During that time
we sold ROYAL CLUB at the reduced price. Recently prices have
advanced the regular price of ROYAL CLUB is now 40c, and
it's worth it
The coffee roaster vrfao inaintaineH a price of 40c to 45c, during
this "low market" period, charged you too much lie robbed the
public of thousands of dollars: They were entitled to share in this
saving just as they do on sugar and flour and other staples.
The Coffee Roaster who charges you an unreasonable price fifty
one" weeks out of the year, for coffee no better than ROYAL
CLUB, and then reduces his price for one week to what it should
have been all the year does not deserve your patronage.
We will challenge all competition. ROYAL CLUB has no equal in
quality or price. We will not be undersold no, not for a single
day.
We will allow no "outside" coffee roaster to unload his surplus
stock on the . unsuspecting public at what he claims to be a marvel
ous reauction.
For two weeks you may buy
ROYAL CLUB at reduced prices
to meet all competition. Buy it in
any quantity at these prices. You
know it is the best that money can
buy., You know it is fresh for it's
roasted daily in Portland and deliv
ered to your grocer in small quanti
ties just as he needs it You can
be certain that it has not lost its
strength in 'warehouses or in transit
