Mr. and Mrs. Ray Wilson have returned to their home here after spending the winter caring for Mrs. BNE OWES Here is why ANTHRACITE so steadfastly remains your lowest-cost fuel buy-hy far! These are the facts: In spite of generally increasing costs for all fuels—and everything else these days—anthracite heat for your home remains as great or greater a bargain than ever. Gas heat, when figured through all its fluctuations and complications, works out to about twice that of automatic anthracite, for the average home in this area. Oil heat, always considerably more costly than anthracite heat, has become even more expensive as a result of whopping price boosts over the past two months. The necessary changes in anthracite prices by comparison have been extremely small, leaving anthracite heat still your best buy—by far. Costs Climb 7 Times As Fast Since the middle of December the delivered price of #2 fuel oil (the type most commonly used for home heating) has advanced a total of two cents a gallon, or 15.5%. It takes 190 gallons of #2 fuel oil to provide heat for your home equivalent to one ton of anthracite. "gallon in cost of this fuel is, therefore, equivalent to a $3.80 increase in the cost of a ton of anthracite. \ Since early November anthracite has actually advanced only 50c per ton—25¢ of which covers increased production costs, the other 25¢ going toward the cost of transportation to your home. Thus this winter’s increase in the cost of ‘fuel oil so far is 7.6 times as great as that for anthracite. What the Difference Means to You ; LAE At current prices fuel oil is equivalent to anthracite at $28.31 per ton. Rice size anthracite today is actually over $15.90 per ton. (Pea size, $17.45). In other words, at current prices it would cost 78% more to heat your home with #2 fuel oil than with rice-size anthracite. | To put the comparison in dollars and cents over the months just ahead, a residence which normally requires 1500 gallons of #2 fuel oil for the heat- ing season could expect to burn about 540 gallons from now until June 1. At current prices these 540 gallons would cost over $80. On the same basis, the user of rice size anthracite would need 2.8 tons from now until June. At the prevailing price of $15.90 per ton, his heating bill would be less than $45. Extra Savings Possible for Anthracite Users By June many anthracite users will have made even bigger savings. Often the anthracite-heated home can store all or the greater part of a full - year’s supply of fuel. The anthracite user who took advantage of pre-season prices and bought his year’s supply last summer would have paid only $14.40 His fuel cost from now until June would amount to only $40 compared to $80 as given above for oil. Most fuel oil users simply do not have the storage capacity to make comparable savings, and price-protected purchase agreements have not been generally available For the. average home-owner today, gas heat is equivalent to over $30 per ton for anthracite—oil heat to over $28 per ton. The actual price of anthracite shows dramatically that it steadfastly remains your host fuel buy —by far—for both economy and solid comfort.
