numbers Goal is but an
empty dream, as our bins have
quite some tons in‘ and
things are not bad’s they
seem. Some enjoyment and
some sorrow seems our des-
tined fate each day but we
strive that each tomorrow
finds more coal is bound this
way. Gold is real, cold is
earnest and the grave will be
your goal if you‘do not seek
protection by the housing of
some coal. You should then
be up and doing, buy some
coal at any rate, for the
Winter is pursuing and we
have not long to wait.

We feel it our duty to call your attention to the serious railroad
situation that the lumber trade is facing. It is possible that you
have given this matter your best consideration, and it is probable
that you have not, and as customers and friends of ours it is our
duty to try and bring this matter in its critical form to you:
We are notified by all the big railroads in the country that
while we can have cars at present under certain conditions, we
must so adjust our business that we will be prepared to face a
car shortage such as manufacturers and shippers have never
dreamed of, and that in the near future.
At this time, then, it is well to consider and anticipate your
reguirements for lumber and building materials, to take advan-
tage of any temporary relief afforded by a better supply for
