friends. In response to appeals from
others, under the name of Uncle
Jacob, he has made a general offer
to the people of Fremont whereby
he will supply them with coal at a
much cheaper rate and at the same

a fee of $1 on every ton. He is of
fering Franklin county, Illinois, coal

$1 for every ton sold, although they
do not have to handle the product.
The dealers stated in their protest
that they would be satisfied with a
profit of $1 on the coal they sold
and as a result he came forward with
the offer to pay them this amount
and at the same time provide con
sumers with much cheaper coal.
