September 19, 1889: Just as Good

UNSCRUPULOUS dealears, and those behind the times, sometimes offer a substitute for goods asked for, and say, "It is just as good." Often they know nothing about it - often want to sell other goods on hand. Now, we are large dealers in coffee - experts in all that relates to it. We know - no doubt about it - SCHILLING'S BEST combines great strength, full rich flavor and economy in use to a greater value to you, the consumer, than any other you can buy. We stake our honor and our reputation upon this statement to you. The best coffee for you is Schilling's Best. Oakland Daily Evening Tribune, Friday, September 19, 1890

September 19, 1890: Reverse Psychology

If you want to drink a villianous mess of rotten coffee mixed with chicory and burned barley, do not come to us to buy your coffee for we keep no ground coffee, nothing but the pure fresh roasted unground article, which we grind course or fine as it is wanted. Oakland Tea and Coffee Co., 476 10th street. Oakland Daily Evening Tribune, Friday, September 19, 1890
