A Word in Regard j
to Coal and Wood
The time is coming when the citizens of the community j
will more thoroughly realize that it is absolutely necessa
ry for us all to economize, particularly in the use of coal I
and wood. It is now impossible to buy a car load of soft
coal, either Run of Mine or Lump ? and many industrial
plants in the State are shutting down for lack of coal. |
The writer is familiar with the coal situation and has i
used his best efforts in trying to supply the community j
with coal. There is jio prospect in sight of sec uring soft
coal any time soon. The shortage in soft coal is .owing
to the tremendous demand for all steaming purposes,
such as railroad, ships on the high seas and all industrial
plants, in this country and abroad. Hard coal is obtain
able in limited quantities. The writer has had the good
luck to secure one car load of nut and one car load of egg
Pennsylvania Anthracite to be delivered in the next f*.*w
days.
I hope my customers will send in their orders for this
coal in limited quantities, say one or two tons at the time,
so that the entire community may be made comfortable.
I would suggest that those who have wood or who can
secure it for fuel, do so.

With great respect, I
