different kind and grade of cheaper and higher

best heat, producers.
I have found tho ideal fuel in your petro

"Tt has no comparison in this respect." Also
it is clean, as there are no ashes, no smoke and
no gas. I wish to say out of a ton of petroleum
coke I have but two small scoops of ashes.
I hero wish to thank you, Mr. Aitchison, for
recommending to. me your petroleum coke. It
