It gives our life a rosy
hue to hear folks say, as
many do. “Our coal this year
is very good and burns ex-
‘actly as it should.” To listen
to some tales of woe is part
and parcel of our trade and
we are always glad to show
that of our goods we're not
afraid; but don't forget a
word of cheer when coal
burns better than it ought—I
few bouquets—'tis sweet to
hear “This is the best I ever
bought."
