Warm Weather -
Eases Coal Demand

AS long as the Weather Man
continues to smile warmly on
Port Clinton and prolongs this
Indian Summer, local coal dealers
hope to be able to supply at least
partial needs of customers. If
cold weather hits this area before
the cold strike is settled, hard
ships no doubt will exist.
The East Clinton Lumber
Company reports that it is able to
supply its customers, with re-
strictions. If customer asks for
a ton of coal, he usually is happy
to get one-half ton. At the Port
Clinton Lumber & Coal Company
there is no pocohontas coal avail
able, but some soft and stoker
coal remains.
