A LOTTERY.
M An old Coal Dealer once des-
cribed Coal as a “lottery"-—one
might draw a prize or a blank.
There is much truth in this, as
(Vloal at the best does not run uni-
form in quality.
'V Words like “Best” or “High
‘Grade” mean nothing in particu-
lar and will not keep your house
«warm.
If you buy your “lottery" tick-
ets of us we shall do our best to
have you draw a prize and believe
live shall succeed. Our Coal was
never better than at present.
