How Anthracite Helps in Making
"The City Beautiful"
Philadelphians enjoy the benefits of an atmosphere that for .
cleanliness and healthfalness is unsurpassed by that xf any other
large American city. i
This is possible because Philadelphia is an anthracite city. If
even a small percentage o'f her factories and other establishments
should change from the. burning of anthracite coal it would immedi
ately have its effect on the health, happiness and comfort of nearly two
million people. By the use of anthracite we are saved the annoyance
i and discomfort of an atmosphere overcharged with heavy, clinging
soot.
Those who have dwelt in or visited cities where bituminous
coal is used are unpleasantly familiar with this. , Clean skin, lusty
lungs, white clothes, snowy marble, immaculate paint would soon
vanish and our conception of "whiteness" would quickly pass from
memory. i
We are indeed fortunate in being located within easy distance of
the anthracite coal fields so that it is possible for all of our heat pro
.ducing plants of all natures including those in our 'residences to '
take full advantage of this.
"The recent shortage of anthracite compelled some manufac
turers to contribute smoke, to the atmosphere. Happily, such condi
tions no longer exist, and it is now possible for Philadelphia to main
tain, its reputation for a clean atmosphere by burning, exclusively,
anthracite coal.
