Better Get Your
Feet Warm!
Just at this time we have a supply of western coal,
excellent in quality, selling at from $11 to $13 per ton.
Considering the condition of the coal trade this is a
good price and one can get the supply now. Those
wintry winds and cold frosty nights will soon be here
and you had better not let this opportunity slip through
your fingers.
This coal is now ready for delivery.
