Early 1950s In Jacksonville Fl

Wafting on the morning breeze,
During manufacturing
Our whole town enjoyed the scent.
Maxwell House Coffee.

Freshness permeating air.
Aroma percolating.
Infusing memories of…
Grandma’s coffee pot.

this is really great. I grew up in a town where my mom worked for Heinz catsup and you should have smelled our town in summer during that season!!
