Get Y0urFuel
Supply Early

Every one should do their bit. In
these critical times, any aid to the
general public is aid to our govern
ment. There is no coal shortage. But
there is a dreadful transportation
shortage. Every means should be
used to keep the mines running and
the coal moving, to the consumer all
the time. There is no accumulated
stock, and it can not be moved fast
enough for the big fall demand. It is
your duty to order your winters sup
ply now, to be delivered as fast as it
can arrive. This will get you out Of
the way, and leave chance for those
less fortunate than you. Will you do
this?
