COFFEE TESTER FOR UNCLE SAM
Official Coffee Tester for Uncle Sam is the title of H. A. Lepper of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. It is his job to pass on all coffee purchased for the Army, Navy, veteran’s hospitals, and even for the inmates of Leavenworth and Atlanta prisons. After samples have been given various tests, coffee is brewed from each and the results are then graded by him.

  1. Maybe the good coffee went to generals, admirals and congressmen, and the poor coffee to soldiers, sailors and convicts.
