The-lecturer at the School of Cookery knows good-coffee
when she tastes it! How do we know? Well, she is using
ADMIRATION here to demonstrate how to make the perfect
cup of coffee. ——----"
She is showing housewives, hostesses and cookery enthusiasts
how to buy, prepare and serve delicious meals and little
delicacies. '
Admiration Coffee comes under the heading of both * ne-
cessity and a luxury — a luxury because it is the finest coffee
you can buy, regardless of price. It MUST be that, because
more Admiration is used in Texas than any other coffee.
If you have not tried Admiration, buy a package today,
oven-fresh, and see just how delicious coffee can be.
