This poster promotes Carhart & Brother's B-D&T Coffee, packed in tins of one, two, and four pounds, a detail that points to how coffee was sold to households. Before brand names took hold, grocers often scooped loose coffee from bulk sacks and ground it on the spot. Sealed tins with printed labels let a company promise consistent quality and let a shopper pick out a familiar name on a crowded shelf. Posters like this one, often colorful lithographs, were part of that push to make a brand recognizable at the store and at home.
