Why Use Pyro Coke?
$8.50
Per Ton
"Pyro" is coal refined.
Take the tar, the heavy oils and most of the volatile gases
out of Colorado's top-notch coal:
"Pyro" is what remains.
"Pyro" is practically pure carbon.
"Pyro" is smokeless, sootless, almost
ashless and the cleanest fuel you
can buy.
Use "Pyro" alone in a hot air furnace, mix it with Econ
omy Egg, $0.50, or with Cherokee Nut, $5.00,
in a hot water heater. No special instructions for
burning Just keep the firepot full.
Use "Pyro" and your bills for fuel will go down.
