PLENTY OF COAL ON HAND;
PRICES REMAIN UNCHANGED
Dealers Ssy the supply OF Fuel Il
Ample to Meet All Ordinary
Demands.

Local dealers report that the supply
OF both hard and soft coal in st. Louis
yards Is ample to take care Of all needs.
Deliveries have been somewhat hanpered
by the snow. but retailers are generally
well up on their orders.
The Illinois soft-coal fields. from which
this city draws its principal supply. have
been sending IN regular and large ship
ments. The lateness Of the cold weather
has resulted ir a large accumulation Of
the anthracite product from Pennsylvania
There has been no change in prices IN
the last two or three months. Hard coal
sells to the retail trade at S. .o5 and IS 20
a ton. Soft coal is normally around the
5. mark, according TO quality.
No material change in the fuel situation
is anticipated. and unless some unlocked
for condition Should present itself. prices
will continue at their present stage for
several months. The president of one of
the largest coal companies said last night:
THE present CCld snap has resulted in
a greatly increased business. but we are
taking good care Of our customers The
supply Of hard and soft coal on hand is
plentiful and / have heard of no shortage
anywhere in this market think YOU
may safely say tEat the fuel situation is
exceedingly satisfactory in St Louis and
that no advance in prices is looked for"

IN DAYS OF OLD,

were few and his profits small.
MANY Of his customers were To-
Gated within the proverblal
stones Throw" of his store. or
factory: perhaps he reached some
hv personal solicitation and 9th
..ss maybe through circular an
uouncements. But his territory"
was in every sense limited.
In later DAYS the travelling man
brought business from distance.
BUT the method was slow and ex-
pensive, and still the territory
was considerably circumScrlbed.
Only a tithe-or icss-of his law

fact that the certain means is at
their disposal 10 reach out and
conquer new industrial fields.
But the modern merchant, or
manufacturer. while retaining all
that is worth while in the old
wavs. adopts the broader, moro
practical, more economical and
more profitable method of adver-
tising. Neither city. State. sec
ton, nor country is his terri

world are opened to him through
the right channels of publicity.
So he grows and becomes a factor
of universal Importance.
