PHONE CALLS SWAMP
TWO COAL DEALERS

Swamped with telephone calls FROM
people seeking receiving ain nv
erage Of 80 90 so such inquiries every

Putnam coal dealers carly this week .o
adopt rather unusual tactics. They
had their telephones temporarily dis
connected. Two things were largely
responsible for tins course beine
adopted. FIRST, they had more orders
leyerY enc am emergency case) on
their books than they had coal 20 flll7
and deliveries were being made as fast
as the men could make them, and see
end, answering the telephone took all
of the time Of the office men and III
one case the general manager, so that
they had no time Ter anything else
and they are men having a diversity
Of duties. Although any number Of
people were displeased or as the street
corner orator says. "reeved." the coal
men certainly have a convincing argu.
ment To sustain their action.
Coal Shortage Acute
Although the shortage q coal in The
bins Of Putnam people is more acute
than it has been all winter, there has
been No cases reported whore people
have suffered because they had ne
fuel The shortage is due to the faei
that dealers have been unable to make
delivery Of coal ON order simply be
cause they have not received coal or
dered By them from the operators
The case with one Of Putnams deal
ors may be cited as an illustration. Hs
states that his allotment for January
should have been i6 carloads, and ht
received but three carloads. .Coasid
cradle coal has arrived in Putnam II
the past week or 10 days, and many
barren eoalhins have received a re
plenishinR supply, even if this ha'
been doled out in what seemed to bt
meagre quantities To keep custom
ers going" the supply on hand sim
ply had to be divided up and each per
son seeking coal take his proportion

THE WOMAN OF TASTE who instinct
lively senses these distinctions is the really
smart woman.
1t would seem that Printz has intuitively
co-operated with this type of woman to give
her the satisfaction that she merits both as
TO style and the price of her garment.
All the spirit and enthusiasm and gaiety
of spring is expressed in these new models
as they come to us for display.
We have smart walking costumes, beau
tifully chic three-piece suits and dresses,
exquisitely designed coats and wraps, and
smart sport coats in long or short models.
