enough for his household is now in
position 10 take advantage OF the

well-known BERNTCE COAL CO.,
SO Como Building, Chicago, is do
ing an enormous business In supply
ing small consumerS-as we'll as the
big ones-with all grades of hard
and soft coal at mine prices.
That these customers are highly
pleased is evidenced by the letters
they write after receiving and try
ing their coal. The following are
extracts from several such letters:

isfactory and your dealings court
eous and fair. 1 shall continue to

 Whether considered as an orchestral company or as company of individ- ual stars, the Cheney Company is equally satisfactory, as attested by their enviable record as "The Return Date Concert Party" Their program offers delightful orchestral numbers, solos, duets, trios, novelty features, reading, whistling and pianologues. Viola, violin, cello, cornet, and piano are some of the instruments used by the members of this all-star organi- zation in their popular program.
 "The White House Golden Organ Chimes" especially manufactured for the Cheneys', is the latest and most melodious instrument of it's kind in existence. The instrument excites great interest, and it's melodies played with the skill of practical ar lists, always brings forth rounds of applause from delighted hearers.
 This is the fifth successful tour of the "Cheney's" under the Communi- ty Bureau Management.

The only goods ex- cluded will be about $50,000 worth of merchandise purchased under price restrictions which cannot be "honor- ably changed" The only motive in making this general reduction, said the advertisement, lis a conscientious sense of duty' made necessary by the reports of government investiga- tors that prices are still on the up- ward trend.
