CHEAP COAL is
POOR ECONOMY
FOR CONSUMER
Dividends Paid by Use of
Good Fuel in Mild or
Zero Weather.

With winter having displayed a
sample of what it can provide in the
way of zero weather, householders
are beginning to realize the i'm
portance of buying only the best
coal available for their stoves or
furnaces.
This is the time when the man
who bought good coal is in luck,
for ninety mine times out of 100 he
still has 8, slow smoldering fire in
his heating system in the evening.
and it takes no time at all for him
to get the home into a warm, cheer
full atmosphere.
On the other hand, the man who,
probably governed by some idea Of
false economy, bought cheap fuel:
or the man who bought coal from
an interruptions dealer, who sold
him dirt along with his coal, is
greeted by a dark interior when he
goes to the furnace and opens the
door of the fire bowl.
Coal Yard Is Paved
Invariably cheap coal will not
hold fire when the drafts all are
closed. The Peoples Coal and Ce-
ment Company, with offices at 1109
East Fifteenth street, handles moth
ing but the best grade of coal.
In addition, every yard owned by
the company is paved, which guar
antees that coal purchased from
this firm will be absolutely free from
dirt, and when customers have a
ton of coal delivered in their bin,
they get ton of good free burning
coal and not 1900 pounds of coal
and the remainder of the mount
foreign matter.
The Peoples Coal and Cement
Company has been serving the citi-
zenS of this community for the past
twenty-seven years, being organized
in 1903, and since that time has en-
joyed a constant growth.
Merit System Used
When asked for his reason for this
fact, L. L. Logsdon, president, at
tributed the reason to the unvary-
ing quality of merchandise handled
and the service given customers
and the general public.
Logsden also stated that to better
The service and to assure courteous
treatment by the employees of the
firm, the merit system was installed
by the organization some time ago.
Complaints are earnestly solicited"
Logsden said, "But to date very few
have been received.
"All drivers are instructed to fol-
low out every desire of the custom
er when delivering fuel and to leave
the premises as clean as it was
before the delivery was made"
This coal company handles many
grades of coal, and is well equipped
to give the buyer the fuel which will
be right for his particular heating
plant.
Two Grades Popular
According to the head of the
company, the most popular grades
of coal during this season, as in
the past, have been one mar
keted under the name Of Everglo,
and another marketed under the
name of Buffalo West Virginia.
Both of these grades of fuel are
well worth the price.
The Everglo coal is an Indiana
nrodl1ct mined from the Indiana
fifth vein in Knox county. 1t all
comes from one mine. which in
sureS an even quality throughout.
All yards of the Peoples Com
pany are available by telephone
through the main Office. There are
ample trunk lines which preclude
any delay caused by busy signals.
Information on coal may be OBJ
tanned by calling Oh. 1890, with as
surance of cheerful and courteous
treatment over the wire.
