B.& ORR. & Mich. Ave-, NE.
Four years ago two young
men who had never been
initiated in the business
worldwide had known busl-
ness only from the sidelines,
only from hearing others
talk of it-stepped out of
school. They were mere
youngsters-both 1S years of
age. They did not hesitate
long enough to accumulate
even the slightest expert
ence. They didn't ask ques-
tions of anyone as to the
methods to pursue. THEY
JUST ORGANIZED A BUSl-
NESS. That business today
after four short years is
known to all Washington.
The Brookland Coal Co.,
Inc, was founded August Is.
1928, by Hartford E. Bealer,
president, and William H.
Hessick. jr.. secretary and
treasurer. From it's incep-
ton it was success. Start
ing with the business af-
forded them by their many
friends, the ever-increasing
good will and word-of-mouth
advertising given them by
these customers, with steady,
level-headed promotion work
and consistent advertising
month after month, these
boys built the nucleus of
one of Washington's best
known coal firms. Each
year the business has in
creased. Last month their
business showed the largest
increase in their short busi-
ness history. This consis.
tent increase was made only
because these two young
executives Of the Brookland
Coal Co. make a thorough
study of every good coal
that is mined. Whether
their patrons want anthra.
cite or bituminous coal, they
are assured only the finest
grades obtainable. The SUI

new political racket. A sentimental
endeavor, no doubt q labor of love,
This time it is President Roosevelt's
birthday.
Since he offended the White House
by supporting Father Coughlin, the
overt inflationist, "Matty" has been

by staging national birthday party
for the President at the expense of
the rank and file Of the A. F. Of l..
"Matty' is back Of an announce
ment that appeared in various papers
telling of the launching of Presiden-
tial Birthday Balls "to be held in
every community in the nation" on
January 80, the fifty-second birthday
of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, father
of the strikebreaking National Re-
coyery Act. Blurbs state that the
proceeds are to go towards raising q
permanent endowment fund for the
Warm Springs Foundation. 1t is I'M
derstood that "Matty' Is charging all
that the traffic will bear.
The Memphis Labor Review. the
A, F. of LIS official newspaper OF
organized labor in Memphis and West
Tennessee" announces in the lead ar
article of It's Christmas edition:
Labor will join with a committee
in all fields of American life to raise
permanent endowment fund for the
Warm Springs Foundation on a
single night at Presidential Birthday
Balls to be held in every community
in the nation.
