Detail isolate from the San Antonio Light “Top Coffee Plant in S.A.” Sunday spread: the Delaware Street roastery presented as south Texas scale retail — Master Chef as the hotel-and-restaurant trade face above H and H house branding. The crop keeps the full wall sign readable for comparing display typography and sign banding to other mid-century factory photography in the project.
