The most famous brands on the mar- ket were chosen, so that it would be a test of quality against quality. The same principle was followed in the selec- tion of judges Among the participants in the test were coffee growers, high salaried coffee tasters, restauranteurs, chefs, and chemists. To be sure of unbiased opinions, the various brands were served in plain cups marked only by symbols. The verdict represented the hon- est opinion of connoisseurs, so there is reason to be proud that their choice was PUTNAM. The whole purpose of the test was to be sure that Putnam would meet with approval in dise criminating homes. The test that will count most in our opinion is the test you give it. One fragrant, stimulating cup will convince you. Stop for a can of Putnam at your grocer's today.
