To Our Customers
For reasons, which really, there is no need to go into,
but which we will tell you the main one, we are com
pelled to ask every one ordering coal to arrange to leave
cash at the house at) we must positively insist upon the
driver bringing back settlement for the bill in each case,
when order is filled.
We all know that when some deliveries are paid for
and some are not that it leaves a loop hole for the driver
to spend the money and tell us that you did not pay.
When it is cash every time he cannot do this without hav
ing the amount of the bill charged to him.
The main reason though that I started to tell you is
the fact that the coal shippers are as independent as can
be and only ship coal nowadays on a bank's certified
check of C. O. D. bill lading attached to draft, which the
buyer has to take up and pay for before he can even pay
the freight on the coal.
If you do not wish to buy from us on cash basis, we are
sorry, but is something we cannot help and we trust that
no one will ask us to extend credit as we can only say
no to such requests.

Is You. House
Paint Hungry?
Many houses are. The wise

Notice to
Timber Men
We have orders for 20,000 No. 1. cross ties from
White Oak, Post, and Chestnut oak, standard specifica
tions of 7"X8"X8 feet and 6 inches long, when sawed and
7"X7" hewed, same length as sawed.
We also have order for 5,000 No. 2 cross ties, to be
any size under the above sizes, down to 6"X7" and length
to be the same as for No. ones, also to be from above
kinds of oak timber.
Almost all timber haulers already kuow the speci
fication and we mention this for those who will be getting
out timber this year who have not made ties before.
Also all this timber must be sound, all knots smoothed
off with the tie and all bt rk peeled off when either sawed
or hewed.
A great many haule. \ lose their grade by measuring
with their axe handles ai i we would ask that you cut a
pole exactly eight and on half feet long and make alt
ties according to this length, and notch it for 7 inches to
get face and thickness.
At this time we also wish to thank the hundreds of
people who sold their timber to us last year and beg to
assure them of the same fair and courteous treatment for
the coming season.
The price, effective February 1st is 60 cents each for
No. 1 ties and 50 cents for second class.
For Red Oak, Spanish Oak, and all other kinds of
oak (except the above mentioned kinds,) also Hickory
and Ash we will pay 50 cents for No. l's, and 40 cents for
No. 2's, same specifications as above.
