DELIVERY OF Coal IN BAGs.-rhc attention
Of coal men is directed to the improved mode of
delivering coal in bags, which has already been
introduced into some of our Northern cities
Instead of dumping a CARLOAD of coal into the
mud OF the street, or the dirt of an alley, and
thereby adding cost of seventy-liVe cents or 81
TO have il rchandled for the vault or the cellar it
is proposed to have ii placed in bags The dealers
who adopt mis- method of dealing coal in bags"
Will no doubt do a much heavier business than
those who will follow the old plan. In the great
city Of London, its millions of inhabitants are
supplied with coal in bags, whether you buy a
single bag or several tons. The mouth of the
bag is dropped from the cart 20 the hole in Lhe
vault, string Is pulled, and the cOnteats of the
bag deposited at once, and without sOiling or
stopping up the pavement. If the coal had to be
carried into the cellar, the work could bc per-
formed in about one fourth the time required
when the shovel and basket are used
