Meyer Bros Owl Club Coffee Tin

The Owl brand was the Meyer Bros. Company’s best selling coffee. It was sometimes promoted as their “Wide Awake” brand.  “The Owls” was a nickname for the company’s sales force team who traveled the Midwest selling the coffee to general stores. The team was featured on postcards and sent to the stores in advance to announce their expected arrival date.  The Meyer Bros. coffee was advertised on many styles of coffee tins and wooden coffee bins. The Meyer Bros. Coffee and Spice Company was founded by Mr. Robert Meyer and his brother Mr. Theodore Meyer in downtown St. Louis in 1894. In 1929 the Meyer Bros Coffee and Spice Co. was liquidated and merged into the David G. Evans Coffee company also based in St. Louis, MO.
