Z Q r-3 WW lii i i -1M KEEPING COFFEE FRESH FOR SIXTY YEARS. Think of something which will hold tight, not squoosh, keep air out, look bright and shut up when you want it to and there you have the coffee can. Coffee companies have been meeting these requirements for decades. And in some pretty fascinating ways. Take that staunch five-pound can with the wire handle. Re mind you of a farmer's pail? Well, with five pounds of cof fee in it, this type of coffee has probably served many a big old-fashioned farm family, and the farm hands, too. But look at the canister right next to it the very newest M.J.B. can in our picture. Any thing the other can do, it can do better. It's a vacuum packed, two-pound can which you can open with a regular can opener, no kev. no unwind ing). Then you throw the metal lid away and use the extra plastic top for re-closing. It fits mora snugly than metal would, so, the coffee stays fresher longer. You can also throw away the paper brand label and when the M.J.B. coffee's all gone, you have a handsome, non-commercial-looking, generous-size canister with a tight-fitting plastic top. All for the regular price of the coffee inside! It goes to show we've come a long, long Way from the coffee barrel and scoop in the gen eral store, and the coffee toted home in paper bags. The oldest coffee can in our collection is that slim-one-pound one at the upper left. And talk about fashions going in circles; it has almost exactly the same shape as the very newest one pound cans. Now about sizes. Time was when they sold tins as small as that 'i pound tin! The latest thing these days is the three-pound size an extremely economical way to buy coffee. If you're wor ried about losing freshness and flavor too fast, do what the coffee experts advise: close it really tightly (the new plastic lids will assure this). And keep the can in the refrigerator. Freshness used to be a much bigger problem than it is now. Before airtight coffee cans, women bought coffee in green bean form so it would hold its flavor better. Then they had to roast it at home a hazardous process which vielded nice brown beans some of the time, and clouds of black smoke other times. Home roasting (and home grinding) dropped out after the vacuum-packed coffee can cama in, during the early twenties. But in the forty years since then there's been practically no change. What with the new plastic top canisters, the stubby key-unwinding cans we're used to may soon be in antique shops. The ones that aren't retired to a dignified old age as paint cans, that is. Oh yes you'll find M.J.B. coffee at your favorite grocer's. Graham Addresses Film Colony Group aound Shop Proprietor Paul Smith Case- grand Smith BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
