- Cover photo description:
- Founded in 1882 as the Arabian Coffee and Spice Mill, in a still at the location of the United Nations Plaza today, by brothers Austin; Rubin and Ernest Hills. In 1906, after Ernest left, they incorporated as Hill Bars. and in 1926 moved to this complex at 2 Harrison Street. R.W., as Ruben is know, is the one who first introduces vacuums packaging in 1900, to keep air out of the containers, for longer shelf life. R.W.`s process of vacuum packaging is still used today, over many packaged items. The tower, besides adding to the esthetics of the building, the gravity helped the beans blending. nThe building was closed in 1997 and now houses numerous other businesses as well as the San Francisco campus of the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania. nThe building is now a San Francisco Landmark. In honor of Ethiopia, where coffee originated, an Ethiopian has appeared on cans of Hills Bros. Coffee as `The Drinker` or `The Taster`. To commemorate that trademark, in 1990, a full sized bronze statue, seen here from the front, was placed in the courtyard of the plaza.
