You will realize that this is no ordinary f F you're thinking of changing cofice, try a real change. Try the one coffee that is utterly different from any you ever tasted. It comes from certain tiny mountain dis- tricts of Central America. Where virgin volcanic soil, steaming tropic rains and brilliant mountain sunshine produce probably the choicest flavored coffees known today. Experts concede that this rare coffee of the ‘West Coast of Central America has a winey tang and full mellow body not duplicated by any other region in the world. “Brown Gold” it is often called—so highly is it prized—so hard to obtain, Noone can tell you how good it is. Weleave that for your own taste to decide. Years ago, this coffee was first served in the famous Bohemian restaurants of San Fran- cisco. Travellers tasting it there spread its fame. From all parts of the world they wrote back for shipments. For that was the only way it could be obtained. Today, however, your grocer has it packed by Folger in flavor-tight vacuum tins.
