Breaking the Raw Prairie. Area 82,080 Sq. Miles. Population 996,096. Copyright 1889 Arbuckle Bros. N.Y. Arbuckle’s Ariosa Coffee Costs more and is worth more than other brands of coffee. Why? It is made from green coffee of higher grade and better drinking quality; and it is glazed at an actual cost to us of three-eighths of a cent per pound. Its entire strength and aroma are retained by our process of glazing coffee. The ingredients used in glazing are the choicest eggs and pure confectioners’ “A” sugar; in testimony of this fact, see our affidavit on each package of coffee bearing our name. The glazing, composed of eggs and sugar, not only retains the full strength and aroma of our coffee, but gives to it a richness of flavor unknown to other coffees; besides it saves the expense of eggs used in settling unglazed coffee. Beware of buying low-grade package coffee, falsely purporting to be made of Mocha, Java and Rio; this being a cheap device, employed by the manufactures, to deceive unwary consumers. Arbuckle Bros Coffee company, New York. Read this. This series of cards is at once the most interesting, instructive and artistic, yet offered as an advertisement. Every card is a study in itself, and affords an object lesson for both young and old. The series consists of fifty cards, each one of which shows a correct map (properly bounded) of one State, or Territory. The pictures illustrating the peculiar industries and scenery of the States and Territories are entirely new, and by the very best American artists. If you chance to get two cards of one kinds, your neighbor also may have two of a kind, in which case you can exchange with each other. Alabama. Alaska. Arizona territory. Arkansas. California.
