NEW STOCK— JUST IN SILVER FOX HOSIERY in all sizes and all the new shades FINEST CHOCOLATE CREAMS ARE DIPPED ONE AT A TIME For a Similar Reason Hills Bros. Roast Their Coffee a Few Pounds at a Time “Juneaw’s Own Store” Candy makers agree that when creams are dipped one at a time in the chocolate, the coating is applied much more evenly than when dipped in big batches. According to the results achieved by Hills Bros., this same principle holds true in roasting coffee. By roasting a few pounds at a time by a continuous process, instead of large batches, a uniform roast is certain, This process originated, and pat- ented by Hills Bros., is called “Con- trolled Roasting.” “Controlled” is a McKESSON'S | most appropriate word because dur- ing the entire roasting process there is automatic regulation. This control accurately regulates the flow of coffee through the roasters —also the temperature. Every ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION An ideal mouth wash, antiseptic when used berry of the rare blend is roasted undiluted. to a degree that insures perfection. No other coffee has the same deli- 75 cents cious flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee. Freshness is always guaranteed in Hills Bros. Coffee because it is packed in vacuum cans. By this method, air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken out, and kept out of the can. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab— the trade-mark—on the can. Sold everywhere by grocers. Hills Bros.
