Reasons
For Buying Coal
Now

You save soc on each 1000 lbs.
The money spent for coal this month is equal to
an investment earning per cent. An invest
: ment that is absolutely safe
2-You get better coal.
The coal is not rushed through the breakers in
desperate effort to fill all orders, as is the case
in winter
3-Less slate and other impurities.
The buster the mine operators, the faster the
coal goes past the breaker boys, who pick out
the slate. The result lots of slate gets past the
boys-you get the slate
4-Cleaner coal.
Coal shipped in winter is often frozen solid in
the Frequently it is necessary to use
picks and bars to remove it. Being frozen and
wet it is nearly impossible to make clean.
You should place your order at once and
get the advantage of summer shipments.

Ten years from now the boys who

passed sufficiently in review to dis
close to them how foolish they had

doing a smart trick.
Franks of this nature are not evil
dences of alertness or superior wit but
rather mistakes and weakness of judg-
ment on the part of a restless spirit.
They give real pain and discontinue
to the victims and have even been
known to result in riots which ended
in death.
This sort of thing is often done at
the train and in public places. In
