    This is one of 25 mugs from the Corner Store collection from 1984-1985.

    A little bit of history about Hills Brothers Coffee. Hills Brothers Coffee was first founded by the sons of Austin Hills, Austin Herbert and Reuben Wilmarth, in 1878 in San Francisco, California. The name of Hills Bros. was incorporated in 1906, six years after they began using vacuum-sealed cans to pack their roasted coffee.

    The original symbol on the Hills Brothers Coffee can was the image of an Arab, called “the taster” drinking coffee and was designed by Briggs, a local artist. In 1990 the image logo was changed to a new “taster” which can be seen on the coffee cans today.

    Nestle bought the Hills Brothers brand coffee in 1985 and later sold it to Sara Lee in 1999.

    Because of its history and longevity in the coffee market, Hills Brothers Coffee is one of the most popular brands of coffee.

    Hills Bros. comes in a variety of strengths and flavors.
