Damn Fine Coffee

An ad for coffee (from 1915) with enthusiasm bordering on the overstatement:


At home--en tour--wherever "White House" Coffee is in evidence--its charm lingers in the memory; commands delighted respect and enlists continued interest no other brand can possibly inspire. A veritable aristocrat among coffees, "White House" is an indispensable adjunct at every repast--; and its invigorating companionship banishes ennui like magic and helps to make life more worth while.

Mmmm, banishes ennui! That's my kind of coffee!
