Historical reference.
The war had a negative impact on the development of many companies at the time. Instant coffee producers were no exception. Military contracts reduced the number of roasters producing coffee for the US from 3,500 to 1,500 by 1945. Of the 1,500 companies, only 57 were as large as Folgers and Maxwell House.
