year is ordered now. The domestic
consumer who delays placing his order
is taking a chance of having an in
sufficient cold weather supply the In
dustrial user who fails to order his
coal now is almost certain to face
shutdown later on.
Get Your Coal Now.
"The man who does not do his part
by anticipating mis- needs and CO.
operating with the Fuel Administra-
ton and the railroads by ordering his
coal now, takes his place with the
man who avoids service ut the front
or has refused to buy Liberty Bonds.
Every coal user should buy and store
coal now, to meet his requirements, so
far as he is possibly able to do so.
Thus, he win cooperate with the
Fuel Administration and with the
railroads by distributing the enormous
burden Of production and transporta-
ton over the months when it can be
carried best, and, more than that. he
will insure for himself full measure
of his requirements.
Every state and local representa-
tive Of the Fuel Administration is
ready to help the coal consumer in
every way possible in securing an ap-
propriate and adequate supply OF coal.
