"193o
 Model" No0v Being DeHvered

NATURE determines the contents of raw coal; man determines the contents of Diamond Briquets
 The "1930 Model" of this scientific coal is shaped the same, looks the same and handles the same as it's cOnspicuOusly successful predecessors - BUT BURNS VERY DIFFERENTLY. It contains con- siderably less free-burnng coal = considerably more coking coal = an accurately determined mix ture for greatest efficiency in furnaces and heat ing stoves. Also the "best yet" for grates!
 Previous models were conceived primarily for cook stoves and ranges When suggested for fur and heaters, the addition of cOking coal was recommended. Now, the scientifically correct amount of cOking coal for furnaces goes into Diamond Briquets during the process of manu- fracture.
 The flame of the "193O Moder is shorter and hotter = the life longer.
 If you haven't had any Diamond Brquets for some time, give the "1930 Model" trial Its per- formance, we feel, will satisfy as few coals ever have. If it doesn't - you get your money back
