Some Coffee Always Brings a Smile LaTouraine is just good coffee—more carefully selected, more painstakingly blended, more expertly roasted, be- cause of the LaTouraine Formula. . What the Formula Means The secret of the “something” which LaToursife has, and you have always looked for in coffee, lies in the La Touraine Formula. According to this famous form- ula, certain coffees—the finest types of their kind—are carefully chosen from world-wide markets. They are always the same mature, high-grade beans, whatever it may cost us to get them. These are blended in 2 special way that combines the finest flavor of each, and roasted with the care a chef would lavish on a match- less dish. The La Touraine Formula is the real reason Does your coffee at your breakfast or dinner table mean an anticipated moment in your day? Does it bring a big smile in every single sip? It will—if it’s L.a Touraine. Millions Now Smile Once you have tasted real coffee flavor—once you have known the aroma of fresh, finely blended, perfectly roasted La Touraine—you will never want any other. The millions of - users of La Touraine coffee have named it “The Coffee of Good Taste,” because it always makes coffee of which you can be proud. A New Flavor to Many in Coffee Many people who could pay any price for cof- fee prefer La Touraine because its special snap seems a new thing in coffee flavor. La Tou- raine users often say it is coffee plus. But 42c per pound for La Touraine’s goodness. Insist on the La Touraine Package Do not accept La Touraine unless it is in the La Touraine package. Buy it in the package marked “bean” and_have your grocer grind it fresh for you. You will then get the utmost flavor in your cup. ‘The Coffee of Good Taste” { bureau for tests.
