Take no chances. Railroad car shortage and labor
strikes will come, and you don't know when they are
coming. Buy at least half your requirements for next
winter, while you can get it.
It will not be any cheaper. It may be higher. But
the greatest danger is that you may not be able to get
it when ydi have to have it.
Coal at $10 per ton is cheaper than wood at the
preesnt felling prices. Besides, wood will not take the
place of coal in, severe cold weather.
Our June price for "Blue Diamond Black" is $10 per
ton, delivered anywhere in Lenoir
We solicit jour orders and will do our best to give
you your money's worth when you buy from us.
Very truly yours,

Dried Beef is in almost universal demand during
warm weather. It is one of the labor-saving foods that
eliminate the drudgery of cooking and kitchen work.
Dried Beef sliced very thin is very popular in the
form of creamed beef. This is a dish that is easily
prepared and is excellent for luncheon or dinner.
Dried Beef also appeals to picnickers and automobil
ists alike. The thin, wafer-like slices, tender and de
licious, make a satisfying lunch wher served with
crackers.
Only the choicest stock is used in Dried Beef, prime
cuts taken from the best pieces of inside beef hams
sugar cured and then smoked over hickory and maple
wood. The results are a fine, even texture, a rich color
and a distinctive nut-like flavor.
It has a food value that is concentrated. It takes
approximately three pounds of fresh beef to make one
pound of dried beef.
The absolute uniformity and highest quality make
satisfied customers who will buy repeatedly.
We slice it fresh every day. Give it a trial.
