ANNOUNCEMENT
Thf government has advised us that, on
account of 6,000,000 tons of coal to be
exported shortly, we will be faced with
a fuel shortage greater than was ever
known.
To take care of a small part of our short*
age that we now have in our allotments
already, the fuel administrator has al*
lowed us 3\'cars of Pilgrim Block coal
each month until December 31st.
Pilgrim Block comes to us highly rec*
ommended from one of West Virginia's
best coal fields.
Our customers should contact us immediately, placing their orders for Pilgrim
Block, instead of taking a chance on
getting some of the other kinds which
we are not certain of getting,      ,
