While the rare blend is partly responsible for this, the patented process, by which it is roasted, is one factor that has made this matchless, uniform fla- vor possible in every pound. Instead of roasting in bulk, Hills Bros. roast only a few pounds at a time. By this process—the de-, gree of roast, the continuous flow of coffee through the roasters, never vary. Hence the name of this proc- ess—Controlled Roasting. Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee.
