Eliminate Freight.
Wagon mine" operators, who are
such only by general name, claim that
by cutting out the overhead of load
ing operations and freight charges
that they can sell coal cheaper in
Birmingham than retail dealers and
can make more money on the sales.
Wagon mine" coal is hauled from
the mines adjacent to the city on
trucks, and in most cases is delivered
direct to the consumer from the OPP

While coal sold in small portions
by peddlers may be of inferior quail

sell quality coal cheaper than the re-
taller can possibly do so.

PHONE DIRECTORY
INJURIES PATRONS

The new Chicago Telephone d.
rectory just issued for the October
period has aroused widespread indig-
nation.
Chicago business and professional
men who reside in hundred nearby
suburbs are wrathy over the fact that
their residence phones are not listed
in the main directory.
A person wanting to call Chicago
business man at his suburban resi-
dence after business hours will be
unable to do so unless he knows his
home telephone number, for he will
not find it in the city directory.
The phone company in wedding out
the thousands of names of suburban
residents from the Chicago directory
has hit a body blow at some of its
best patrons.
It is true that the telephone com
pany has furnished to each of these
patrons a suburban directory" which
kindly informs the customers of their
own suburban numbers.
But people who are not on the
suburban credit or debit accounts of
the company are not furnished with
this information.
A stupider arrangement could not
be invented or inaugurated.
Business and professional men re-
siding in the suburbs can not be
reached by non-suburban subscribers
through the columns of the once use
full Chicago Telephone book
The amount of trouble, annoyance
and unnecessary expense entailed by
this stupid act would be hard to esti
mate
