"Lion Coffee" Promotional Ad Coffee Mug
"Lion Coffee" Promotional Ad Coffee Mug

HistoryIsEverything.com offers two custom coffee mugs that feature one of America's oldest brands: Lion Coffee.
This is the one without all of the lion puns.
Lion Coffee was established in 1864 in the midwest but moved to Hawaii in 1979. Before the move to paradise, the company was one of the most prolific advertisers in newspapers large and small across the country. The ads all carried the familiar boast that "Lion Coffee is Composed of a Successful Combination of Mocha, Java, and Rio. It is Never Sold in Bulk. It is Roasted with the Greatest Care But not Ground."
The king of coffee advertisers for many years, Lion, promoted their product for decades by giving away "picture cards" which could be collected and traded like baseball cards and even would send out catalogs and run ads as the one featured on this mug, that listed goods that could be obtained by redeeming proof of purchases you would send in. The proof of purchase? The Lion's head from the package.
In the ad on this mug, you could see that 18 lion heads would get you a fancy gold ring, or you could get a ruby ring for only seven lion heads more. For a bit bit more, a pocketwatch could be had for 90 lion's heads or stepped up to the Knickerbocker pocketwatch for the big spenders who were willing to wait until they had collected 175 lion heads (that is A LOT of coffee). A pair of lace handkerchiefs demanded 18 heads, and a children's book was available for the low price of only 10 Lion Coffee lion heads.
Sorry, we do NOT accept cut-out lion's heads as payment for this mug, but the real money you do spend for it is put to good use. The proceeds of this Lion Coffee newspaper ad mug go directly to supporting the efforts of libraries and other community organizations to unlock their local history and make it free to access by their community.
