minds of our American sailors and

"Suddenly. without warning. by

According‘tethe best information obtainfiale, normal
production at the mines will not be reached before the end
of this month. The whole country is as short of Anthracite
as is Norwalk. If the first month’s tonnageoutput is dis-
tributed proportionately so as to.reach all sections of the
country, the smaller cities and towns will receive very little '
in that time.
Therefore, unless you have enough fuel to
last anetler ‘month it is advisable to plan now to use the
substitutes at least that much longer. But it is not wise to
figure too closely.
A sudden storm severe enough to pro.
vent'deliveries would be a serious matter if you were down
to the last shovelful.
We recommend the prepared Virginia coal (high grade
soft coal) and will furnish directions for handling it.
