A surprise VIII shortly be sprung upon
local coal dealers if the present plans
Of several residents of the city who
have been unable TO obtain coal, ma
teriaIizc.
Their purpose IS to bring suit before
ne Supreme Court of the District Of Col
umbia to restrain dealers from discTimi-
mating against them because they have
not been regular customers. The matter
IS now in the hands of several OF the
most prominent practitioners before the
local bar. who are making a searching
examination of the laws bearing upon
the question.
Customers First.
Most of the larger dealers of the
city have strained every resource in
their power to provide fuel for those
persons whose names appear upon the
books as regular customers Many of
Them. however, have abandoned all ef
fort to supply the public at large and
it is an everyday occurrence for those
who are trying to buy coal to be in
formed that tie dealer has that article
only for his regular customers. In fact.
The dealers in doing so are not only
acting under a general agreement among
the trade, but under instructions from
the officials Of he Reading Coal and
Iron Company and other companies. who
are trying to -naiL tain low prices.
While acknowledging that the effort
to take care OF their regular customers
Is in way coEmendable, those who
have been unable to obtain coal assert
that the dealers have no right 20 dis

Look Before
You Leap!

TT goes without saying that the wise
tends to apply sound business princi-
pies to his every business transaction
whether only a few cents or hundreds
of dollars are involved. This principle
applies to almost every transaction ex-
cept the purchase of life insurance
When he has decided to insure he Is
just as liable to buy poor policy in
an extravagantly managed, reckless
company, as policy that will protect
his every interest in an economically
managed, conservative company that
has no other intention than to treat
every policy holder fair and square
both in prosperity and adversely.
There is no reason in the world why
every reader of the Enquirer should not
have absolutely the best policy in the
best company in the world, because
have demonstrated time and again in
these columns that the Mutual Benefit
is the best company and issues the
best policy to be had. All that is ne
cessary for you to do in order to pro-
tect your interests when you get ready
to insure Is to call at my office or
write for proofs. In other words "look
before you leap" I do not claim to be
as smart" as some insurance agents,
but have enough gray matter to know
that unless 1 convince you that my
wares are better for you than are
those Of the other fellow I will not get
your application.
