Coal Shortage Is
Feared; Says
Expert Authority
Dnrkajii — The Uuited StatcS
QafrernaieBt ud the nation’s
coal dealers have been urging
citizens to buy their winter buppl
Of «e«l n»w. They have made
thitf recofluucndation in an at-
t«(0pt to avoid fiH’ther railroad
e«f b-bort«ge and increases in
coal {Hieea.
^ii'any Durham citizens up to
o9}F, hovever, have not been able
to follow tjiis recuuiQiendation
because thep didnH have the ca«h
to ay for their winter coal supply
in advance .
A new plan has jnst been an-
ooanccd by one of Durham’s
leadiof; coal dealer w4>ieh will
help these citizens buy their coal
now at Summer prices and have
it delivered when tbey need it.
The company is the Scott Coal
Company, of which E. E. Coun
cil is prt^ident. ’’ f
Mr. Council explained today
that the new frian ull'ered b]> the
Seott Company will operate as
follows:
“Visit the Scott Coal Comi
pany’s office on Kast 1‘ettigrew
street. Place your order and
make a dci>osit of $1.00 jjer ton.
Each following week or payday,
make a payment of $1.00 j>cr ton
until your coal i^ ]>aid for in
full.”
“Thus you will have purchased
your coal at Summer prices and
you can be sure of getting it de-
liverwl when you need it.’’
“You will have avoided an al
most certain rise in coal prices,
and you will be enjoying the ad
vantages of,‘coal from silos.”
The Seott Coal Company is the
only place in Durham which stor
es its coal in concrete silos' This
protects the coal from the rain,
dusty winds, and snow. As an
extra service, the coal is loaded
directly from the silos through
mechahl^aj^scj^ens which vibrate
500 tilff‘8’“ a 'Aiinute and remove
dirt aud foreign matter.
