Buy Your Coal Direct
From Mine-Big Saving

The high cost of coal is a thing of the
past! At least, there are no complaints
on this account-since the removal of gov
eminent restrictions-among those who
have learned how to buy coal. The way to
buy coal is to get it direct from the mines.
This saves several middlemen's profits. 1t
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can now
buy at mine prices, whether a carload
buyer or one who uses only ten or fifteen
tons year. This has been made possible
through plan evolved by large and old
established concern, THE BERNICE
COAL COMPANY, with main offices at
935 So. Dearborn St., Chicago.
This company has thousands of custom
ers in various sections of the United
States who receive all of their coal direct
from the mines. These customers are
pleased not only because of the many dol
lars they save every year, but also be-
cause OF the quality of coal they are
getting. Many write that they never be-
fore had coal that makes so little dust,
that burns so well, leaving so few ashes.
III you are a coal user-whether you use
hard or soft coal, much or little-it will
be greatly to your advantage to write the
Bernice Coal Co. at once for prices, stating
kind and quantity of coal you use. Adv.

February Is the month IN which the

few radical style changes in garments
for children that their clothes may be
made we'll In advance of the season. and
II the mother OF the family Is to have a
comfortable summer she will wisely get
all the sewing for the children done
early.
Buying children's clothes ready made
has many advantages and the busy
mother is naturally tempted to forego
the arduous weeks OF sewing that are
necessary if these garments are to be
made at home. Unless very high
price Is paid for them ready made wash
dresses never wear as well as those That
are made at home, and, OF course, 1t is
not possible to express very much in
dividuality In garments that are made
alike by the thousand A good plan Is
Go buy q certain number Of ready made
dresses for each child and complete the
summer wardrobe with an equal mum,
