BIG SANDY COAL
OUTPUT EXCEEDS
EVEN WAR RECORD

1t has been long, long road, but
the coal operators of the Big Sandy
are coming into their own again. In
the week of July TIP the c. & o, took
out 1924 cars, which is only SO cars
below the high record of the week OF
June 22-27. 1919. The G. o. took
from all fields last week 1921 cars,
which is a new record, exceeding the
previous high record last July by 81
cars.
This is as remarkable as it is graf
flying, as few people believed that
shipments in this year Of peace would
reach anything like the enormous vol
ume of the war year Of sl6,-Ash-
land Independent.
