Boms corns from Mexico, aoms from South America, and there the baiter ) rrarta fmm ' far Jh. anrf v - - ' v aaa Suuiatra. Tbla lumiense stock represents fif teen different typa of green coffee, and several grades of each type. All the grades are necessary to tbs proper blending of coffee for tbs ul timate cup of delicious coffee. Some t rxs era note1 fnr thalr feasne a me for tbclr strength, others for I ihcir &eetne.KS, a.nd they all have i ffereat flavors when made Into tbs coffee that you get on your table. Many of tbe varieties would not suit tbs coffs drinker who Is discrim inating, but a ben blended wtta aoms otber variety It is "Just right." There's a Her ret to It. Tbs secret of the final cup of cof fee Is simply thla: to combine those coffees which will suit tbe consumer and produce a better cup of coffee for the least price. AU of Paxton ft Gallagher's blenda are secret, naturally. An expert la employed to test the different coffees and blend them In such proportions that tha best pos sible flavor la derived with the least IKMMible expense. Tha blending pro cess Is a fins art. lis gats samples from all over tha world and from them he makes his choice and than buys In great quantities, sometimes purchasing a train load from one source or ons plantation. Then, too, tbs roasting has a great deal to do with tbs final flavor and, here, too, tbe expert's services are necessary. Two Ways of lloaatlng Coffee. There are two waya of roasting coffee. One la by tbe Blower process of baking the coffee in ovens. Tbla proceita la much cheaper because coal U used. But tba coffee roasted a long time does not retain aa much of tba flavor and hatural fragrance. Tbe gas roasting process Is beet, as tbe coffee roasted directly In tbe flamea la roasted more quickly, there fore aavlng more strength and fra grance. Gas rosstlng coffee gives a better final cup of coffee and there are many details to producing a per feet coffee unvarying and depend able. Paxton A Gallagher have four great gas roaatera In their plant which are at work every day. These roasters consume t00 worth of gaa per month. Tba coal roasters would reduce this cost to about $60, but tbe results would not be tbe came. Tbe three roasters roast about 200 bags of coffee per day. That la sbout 26.000 lbs. Grading Is Important. Tba coffee when first received is properly graded as to character, then samples are taken and roasted and again telected by grade, and each day the coffee tester tests a sample from each roast. This assures a per manent, unvarying grade. Through different processes all light, bitter, undeveloped coffee beans are blown away, and other machines take out the heavy substances, such as peb bles. Other machines then steel cut the coffee and extract the chaff. From .the roasters It Is dumped Into groat pans holding several hun dred pounds. This pan has a screen bottom and la wheeled to a sucUon pipe and tha suction Is attached so that all the smoke la drawn off from tbe bottom and cold .air Is drawn through so fast that tbs coffee Is quickly cooled, and thia prevents It over-roastlne; Ja Ha own heat Must Have a Large Stock. It is essential at all times to have a large stock of green coffee on hand, but a very small stock of roast ed coffee. Paxton Gallagher Co. never have over two daya aupply of roasted coffee. Where the coffee la roaated far away and haa to be ablp ped through jobbers It often becomes stale. The west uaes a higher grade ot coffee than any of tbe eastern cities. The average price paid for coffee Is higher and the people are mors dis criminating. This shows tba west knows good coffee and la willing to pay for it. . Paxton ft Gallagher rank tint at the west's largest wholeaals grocers, as well as flrat in coffee. Their growth haa been natural, a glowing tribute to Nebraaka'a wealth and bar possibilities as a Isrga maftuXactarlag and distributing clt.
