Consumers who took my advice
last Spring preventing
coal famine today
Last Spring I advised the public to
buy coal, which they did in a larger
measure than ever before. This
Winter they reaped the benefit in com
fort and lower cost and besides did
more to relieve the coal shortage than
anything else. f
There is a shortage of coal in Phila
delphia today, because everybody
didn't take my advice last Spring.'
Some dealers are entirely out of
stove and nut sizes and many are pay
ing from 75 cents to $2. 1 5 premium per
ton,' to get these sizes.
If a great portion of the public had
not bought coal during last Spring and
Summer, the situation this Winter
would have been unbearable and coal
dealers would not have been able to
get enough coal at any price.
Those who heeded our advice, not
only secured coal for themselves, but
made it possible for others, less fore
sighted than themselves, to get coal this
Winter. '
