Will Your Home Be
Warm This Winter?
Some homes are never
comfortably heated in cold
weather because of im
proper heating methods
and wasted heat. Where
there are impurities in coal
there is bound to be wasted
heat.
Kelley's "Blue Ribbon"
coal is richest in carbon and
has the least percentage of
impurities of any fuel mined
in Pennsylvania.
Let "Blue Ribbon" coal
prove to you how comfort
ably it 'can heat your home
this Winter.
And it costs no more.
