No More Worries Over
 Excessive Coal Bills

It is not generally known that even the small coal consumer can have his coal shipped direct from the mines thus saving the profits that otherwise would go to wholesaler and retail dealer, besides saving hauling expenses. Of course, big manufac- turers and other large consumers have always bought this way, but the man who buys only enough for his household is now in position to take advantage of the same purchas- ing privileges. The we'll known Bernice Coal company, $50 Como building, Chicago, is doing an enor. nous business in supplying small consumers-as well 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 trying their coal. The following are ex- tracts from several such letters: Have found your coal entirely satis- factory and your dealings courteous and fair. l shall continue to buy my coal from you. ."-Ed. G. Gereka, Burlington, la. More than pleased with it. Please uote me prices on same coal for December" Churchman, Alexandria, Ind. Well pleased with it. Expect to buy more from you."-Fritz Bros.
