Not a postcard but a trade card, the text says...

Why
Crystal Coffee
is the Best
Because it is absolutely pure.
Because it is stronger and retains its
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.

Take notice in mailing Crystal Trade
marks that the word "Crystal" is cut from
the side of the package which bears the words
Trade Mark. Ask your grocer for Crystal
Coffee Premium List.
To guard against fraud and imposition see
that each label bears our name. None others
are genuine.
