HA. 0710 Cheap Coal is Expensive CS buy 4 MODERATELY \ PRICED' ■1 ANTINE TheHard Soft-Coal" “Cheap” coal goes right from Iho mine to the consumer, with practically no preparation. You pny freight on every pound of slate and rock in it—you pay hauling charges —you lose the heat value of just that much coni—you increase your ashes—it's costly to buy a cheap product. CANTINE Coal has all rock, slate and dirt removed at the mine—by mechanical double-screening and careful hand picking over steel belts—comes evenly sued, hard and clean, and stays that way. Its price is really quite moderate, considering the quality of the coal. Order /VOff' from these dealers, and get e 100 cent value for every dollar you spend OMAHA Hover Van Kurin Lbr. 4 Coal Co.
