ANNOUNCEMENT
Advance in Price
of Anthracite Coal

MAURY DOVE COMPANY ad-
vises its patrons and the PUBLIC gen.
orally that the advances in all materi-
ais, labor, ETC., which enter into the
cost of selling and delivering coal have
been SO enormous that it has been COM
PEELED to advance the price of AN
THRACITE COAL Csc per ton, to
take effect Tuesday, October 10, 1916.
The discount of 15c per ton for cash or
for accounts settled in full by the 10th
of the month will still prevail.
Increases in the various items COM
prising the above expense have in no
case been lower than 25f0, and in one
instance has exceeded 1887. For the
past year we have been absorbing
these advances as they occurred, in the
hope that they would prove to be only
temporary. Instead, however, they
have been gradually increasing, until
we have found it impossible to absorb
them longer.
