B. T. BABBITT'S LION COFFEE!

I am putting into the Market a superior article of

PURE COFFEE

Hermetically Roasted, Ground, and
Sealed in One-Pound Cans.

I WILL GIVE

ONE OUNCE OF GOLD for every ounce of adulteration found in my Coffee. For the first Six Months I shall put THREE $1 GREENBACKS In every Box of Sixty Pounds (that is, three cans in each box will contain a Dollar-bill).

In the usual way of roasting you can smell the Coffee a long distance from the mill while roasting, which proves that there is a very large percentage of the aroma or flavor lost, which is the richest and best part of the Coffee. This Aroma or Flavor I save.

I have patented a new Roasting Machine, whereby the Coffee is Hermetically (without change of air) Roasted, Ground, and Sealed in cans; consequently, every particle of the Aroma is saved. My manner of roasting gives the Coffee a rich, glossy appearance, produced by condensing the aroma, This brings the Coffee to its highest state of perfection.

I can, with confidence, recommend this Coffee as being strictly pure, and from fifteen to twenty per cent. stronger in Aroma than any other pure Coffee. It needs only one trial to become permanently used in every family that appreciates a good cup of Coffee.
