’ In announcement in this nnwspaper
_ today mandating the public wall a
method for saving 'live dollars per
ton on coal through the use of buck-
? wheat sized coal. made bllrnabie in
' home furnaces {with the'aid of a new
perfected device known as the Cap-
pus Blower. '
Through the liberal plan of this
Company. the Coppus Bower ls
loaned to the public. zhus eliminat-
.» ins the cost of purchase to the user,
. and from the time the device. which
is easily attached to the furnace. is
_ installed. homes will be l'ully equip-
pcd to use the inexpensive. small
size of hard coal known as "buck-
wheat". the cost of which is always
estimated to be five dollars per ton
under the price of nut. stove and egg
coal.
' "Buckwh t" said R. C. McNeil
president 0 the Consolidated Letall
Coal Company. is a lower p'iced.
small sized hard cool. It contains the
same heat value. ound for pnund
as stove. nut. or gg sizes. in tact,
it is the same coal—from the same
mines. the only difference being in
size. When the larger sizes are pre-
pared at the mines. the breakage
produces "buckwheat: '
"There always will be a. plentiful
supply of buckwheat anthracite so
long as coal is mined. In fact. evon
when the larger sizes are unobtain—
able. due to strikes and other causes.
there is invariably a great surplus of
buckwhut. Each year. bemuse of
this surplus. mine owners and re-
tail coal dealers are confronted with
the problem of disposing of millions
of tons of this splendid but small
anthracite and are only too glad to
sell it at a low pirce."
'Therefore". continued Mr. Me
Neil, "The home that is equipped
with our blower and can burn buck.
wheat coal is always in s. happy po-
sition as regards the coal supply. If
the Coppus machine does t do ex-
actly what we so: it will. we Will rc-
lnovo it at once. It costs the public
nothing to try it."
