 "The service bureau maintains a corps of demonstrators who are show ing people how to burn New River and Pocahontas eoals and are assisting the dealers as well. The bureau has pre- pared pamphlets containing simple in structions which will enable any per- son running q fire in a household heat CT to use these eoals These pamph- lets may be had by dealers or the public upon request. We have also prepared for newspaper publication simple instructions for burning these eoals either in prepared sizes-lump. egg, stove or nut--or run-of-the-mine coal for household use.
