Pll protect you against
a drop in coal prices
This is my guarantee:
If you buy two tons of coal or more from me at my present
reduced prices, including the extra reduction of 50c a ton, and if,
on April 1 or later my prices drop, or there is a general reduc
tion in retail coal prices, I GUARANTEE TO REFUND TO
YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRICE YOU
PAID AND THE NEW PRICE. Could anything be fairer?
These are the facts in the coal situation today: Although
coal mines worked full time last year coal was not plentiful until
March 1 despite one of the mildest winters in years. Had weather
conditions been normal there would have been a shortage of coal.
Coal operators say they cannot increase output this year.
Unless people buy coal this Spring and Summer there is bound
to be a serious coal shortage next Winter, with its attendant
misery and suffering.
