strength much longer than any
other coffee.
Because we know the better we make
Crystal Coffee the more we
we sell of it.
Because we import, roast and pack
Crystal Coffee, hence can
afford to give you a better coffee
than any one else for the same
money.

marks that the word "Crystal" is cut from
the side of the package which bears the words

that each label bears our name. None others
are genuine.
