co. TO CONTINUE COAL SELLING
 DURING WINTER

Contrary to earlier announcements, the Alaska Lighterage and Commercial Company will not discontinue it's coal selling activities with the close of nav igation and will bring in an ample stock of that indispensable commodity to meet all the wants of the community during the winter. according to state ments made by the management to T committee of the Nome Chamber of Commerce appointed to ascertain ways and means of insuring an adequate fuel supply next winter.
 Manager Gahrielson assured the committee that the company has 1000 tons of coal coming on the steamer Ketchikan, and an additional five hun drcd tons will be brought in later If needed, It Is important, however, that the company be advised by prospec- tive customers as to the amount of coal that will be required by them for
 
 high costs. the company does not wish to carry a larger stock than will be needed to fill winter demands and in- tends to employ the orders received be- fore hand as basis for estimating the amount to be shipped in over and above the 1000 tons to arrive on the ketchikan. Everyone who intends to winter in Nome should advise the company as soon as possible regarding the amount of coal they will need in order that enough may be obtained to cover requirements. No deposit will be required with the orders received and no time should be lost in placing them.
