Coal Prices
Reduced!
First Time in 2 Years
Despite the announcement by several of the
largest railroad coal producing corporations that
there will be NO reduction in the price of domestic
anthracite at the mines this Spring, I have been
able to contract for a limited tonnage of the best
coal in the Lehigh anthracite district on which I
am making a reduction, the first in two years, to sell
for the following prices, chutcd:
NEW PRICES
To charge customers To cash bujors
Egg $14.25 Less 50c a ton for cash . . . 13.75
Stove 14.50 Less 50c a ton for cosh . . . 14.00
Nut 14.50 Less 50c a ton for cash. . . 14.00
Pea 11.50 Less 50c a ton for cash . . . 11.00
Charge customers who pay in 5 days allowed
cash price. 50c a ton extra for carrying.
The new price reductions, with the added ad
vantage of 50c a ton off for cash, go in effect today'
and will continue as long as our limited tonnage
lasts.
Send in your order at once for a full year's
bupply. Coal is bound to be scarce and higher in
price later.
Our coal burns without the aid of an expert.
