The Gilcrest-Russell Lumber Co.
is selling Gorham and Industrial
coal at Kersey at $3.50 ton, which
is the cost to a cent OF the coal on
board cars at Kersey. Conditions
are responsible for this price the
same as conditions were respon-
sible for coal selling at $3.50 ton
in Greeley some months ago. The
policy of my company has always
been to protect its patrons and Il
conditions necessitate the selling OF
goods at cost or below cost in order
TO take care OF our customers, we
deliver the goods an look pleasant.
For Nr Camps information wonld

business standpoint we are not
proud the il~rnct'on n7itte
have we as yet been handed bo-
quet as memorial OF occupying
the position OF a public benefactor.
We sell more $3.50 coal than $3.50
coal which proves that the high
priced article is worth one dollar
more than the cheaper coal.
For many months my company
has handled Gorham and Industrial
coal exclusively with the exception
Of one car of Louisville which costs
ten cents a ton less than the two
brands named above and do not be-
lieve that any of the old establish
ed coal dealers in Greeley have been
selling the inferior grades of coal
at price exceeding $500 a ton
The experienced coal dealer knows
that it is losing game to substi-
tute grades and where 1t has been
vestigation will show that the man
practising such policy is a new one

Now. Mr.. Editor. 1t is useless for
me 20 ask for further space in your
paper to discuss the price of coal
with Mr.. Camp. Let him come for
ward and make good on his state

Relief society already has a subscrip-
tion from my company and I am
willing to make a further donation

being a cheap coal town. Being
from Missouri myself and Mr.. CamI
hailing from Kentucky, have nc

farms. each with the same improve

price. one farm within two mile.
Of Greeley and the other within tw,
miles OF Evans, does Mr. Camp hav,
any doubt which location would b,
chosen? The business interests O

farmers likewise need the busines

farms in the surrounding territor
