![H and H Blend one-pound tin and “flavor in the cup” banner crop, 8 Jan 1932 San Antonio Light]({{ “/assets/images/gallery/crops/newspaper/1932-01-08-san-antonio-light-h-and-h-taste-in-cup-ad-page-01.jpg” | relative_url }})

Vertical crop isolating the lower banner and pack illustration from the 8 January 1932 San Antonio Light (page 25) display ad. A dark vertical column carries three banner tabs — “You drink Coffee / only for the flavor / in the cup!” — each paired with a small steaming-cup line drawing descending toward a frontal view of a one-pound H AND H BLEND Coffee tin (medium ground, Roasted and Packed by HOFFMANN-HAYMAN COFFEE CO., SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, marked PURE COFFEE).

The image preserves the early-1932 H AND H Coffee tin lockup — paired slab-serif H letters with AND stacked between, BLEND band, and the script Coffee — months before the Crystalvac glass jar would enter the same advertising layouts in June 1932.
