The pairing of a coffee maker called the Tom Thumb with advertisements for Kin-Hee coffee sets a household appliance beside a product pitch. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, coffee makers and branded coffees were sold through heavy printed advertising, as manufacturers competed for kitchens that had long roasted or ground their own beans. A memorable name like Tom Thumb signaled compactness and novelty, and the lettering and layout of such material often reveal how companies tried to make an everyday drink feel fresh.
