Complaints are frequently made,
and perhaps without any foundation,
about short weights on coal. Now we
will say to the public and consumers
Of coal, while we have no city scales
to test the honest or dishonest by, we
ask those that have scruples, also
those that have not, to test any and
all coal they buy of US on any disin-
terested scales in town, and for every
pound they find it short we will double
it in money or coal. This don't mean
the present only but for all time to
come. Respectfully,
ALLISON Bros.
