Coal is composed mostly of carbon, but some grades contain a large percentage of mineral im purities like bone, slate, lime, etc. These mineral impurities go to make up your ash pile. Coal that contains a large percentage of lime fuses or melts together and forms "clinkers." There are more than 300 Anthracite coal mines in this State. A coal dealer needs considerable ex perience to be able to select the mines which will give his customers good coal. We are the largest coal dealers in Central Penn sylvania and it will be perfectly safe for you to give us your order. A saving of 30c per ton is made on Egg, Stove, Nut and Pea coal bought now.
