Davis, Gen eral Coal Agent for the Lehigh Coal and Navi gation Co., Philadelphia, Pa., is taken from a cur rent month's magazine. "We unhesitatingly ad vise the early purchase of Anthracite this year. There are many factors that will enter into the delayed purchase of coal that cause great dissatis faction and possibly worse to the dealer; the car shortage, possibility of embargoes in certain sec tions of the country, and labor shortage for the handling of coal which is already apparent. If I were a dealer I would fill my bins to utmost ca pacity." The present prices for Anthracite coal are 30c per ton lower than will be charged next winter. Don't delay the buy ing of coal you may regret it. United Ice & Coal Co. Forster & Cowden Sts. Third & Boas Sts. 15th & Chestnut Sts. Also Steelton, Pa.
