Cleaning • I the Crack Everybody used to he contented believing the world to be flat. It takes a long time for human beings to think of things. * I No one ever thought to clean out the crack which you have no doubt no- ' ticed on the flat side of every coffee | bean. And yet it is the bitter skin enfolded in the crack and arotnhd i the coil <■ bean that makes much coffee unpleasant to the taste. When you grind your own coffee, you grind also the bitter skin and the still more bitter contents of the crack. Result, more poor coffee. I < Empire Coffee is palatable, appetizing and dependable, because the crack is cleaned. Your grocer has it at a popular price. * OUR GUARANTEE Every package of Empire Coffee is fully guar- I anteed without reservation or restriction, and should the contents, FOR ANY REASON, not meet with the approval of tho purchaser, it may be returned to your grocer and he w ill refund the purchase price.
