MORE COFFEE- TALK
Dear Ladies:-
Nothing comes closer home to your husband than the
kind of coffee he drinks. Right here is where the problem of
taste comes in, and discriminating coffee drinkers are always
alert to' get hold of a brand that has just the quality that goes
to the right spot
But the problem does not end there, some brands are
one thing to-day and quite another tomorrow, and how could
you hope to please with such a brand.
It has always been my idea to get a coffee that pleases
and keeps the same quality day in and day out, year after year,
and my years of experience handling this coffee has proven
that we have it in Chase & Sanborn's Blends.
Don't forget the price-twenty-five and thirty-five cents.
Once used, always used. We are getting boquets on this coffee
every day. ,
Yours very truly,
T. A. Riggs,

opinion of Quan Kai,. a wealthy
Chinese merchant of Hong Kong,
who has been a Portland visitor
for the past few days. He be
lieves an era of closer commer
cial relations with the United
States is about to dawn for his
country and he welcomes a larg
er commerce with the Pacific
Coast. Quan Kai says his country
is entering upon a period' of ex
pansion and must have railway
materials, machinery of all kinds
and manufactured products in
addition to the lumber, wheat
and flour, the chief commodities
secured from this Coast, saying
that his people prefer to trade
with this country in preference
to the English and German ex
porters who have the bulk of
this trade at present. ,
