COM! COAL! COAL! Having completed our new Coal Yard on North Seventh street, which is equipped with the most modern machinery, from unloading the cars to reloading into wagons or trucks and rescreening coal if you so desire. We also installed the most expensive and accurate 12-ton scale that can be purchased, being of the Registering Beam Type, which registers the exact weight on two tickets, thereby leaving no chance for error in reading the Beam, or setting down the weight, all of which places us in a position to handle coal at the least possible expense, and furnish you what you want of the best that can be bought, and at the very lowest price. We have gone to a big expense, therefore must keep the machinery ruunning if possible, in order that we may realize on a large’ tonnage. We expect to devote almost our entirelime to the retail and wholesale coal business, which will afford us time to become thoroughly posted on all coals, and how they should be handled for best results. If you are a farmer or have your own conveyance to haul it, drive up to the loading bin and in one minutes time, your wagon is loaded and ready to start for home, with any kind of coal you wish; if you live in the country and have not time to haul your coal, we have two large trucks and will haul it for a fair charge. If you desire threshing coal, we certainly are in a position to furnish you what you want and at the right price. As an inducement to get the people to lay in their Winter Supply of Coal Now while the roads, alleys and lawns are solid, making it Less Expensive for Us to make the delivery, than when the ground is soft, we are going to give you all these advantages by making you special prices, named below in this advertisement for CASH ONLY, providing your order is in prior to July 31st, as we realize later on when everyone wants and must have coal, that it will be hard to secure on short notice, which means an advance in price by the operators, as they are alive to any sudden demand, which is sure to come, as statistics show that less than five percent, of the people have laid in their supply at this time, as compared with the last five years. Chairman Clark of the Interstate Commerce Commission wrote the M. 0. I. Retail Coal Association last week as follows.’ “I regard it as extremely unfortunate that there should have been so much agitation in regard to an early reduction in rates on coal and other commodities. I think that the result of these rumors, have been to stagnate commerce and industry. There is not to my knowledge now pending before the commission any formal proceedings in which general reductions of coal rates under Section 1 of the act are sought.” The above quotation from a man that should know if there is any chance for an early freight reduction on coal, convinces us that even if it should be reduced now, it is not likely it would go into effect until after the the first of the year and the small amount it would be lowered, would be more than off-set by the price at the mines, and the price can ONLY be lowered by reduction of freight, as the Miners agreement with the Government and operators on wage scale will not run out until April of next year, then why we expect cheaper coal, as in the meantime we are slowly drifting every day nearer to fall and winter, whose first cold snap will send the orders in too fast for the coal dealer, railroad and miner to handleWe are willing to back up our convictions by placing your coal in your bin NOW, you pay for it, and if there is any reduction in price between now and the Ist of Sept., we will refund you the difference in cash. ‘What can be fairer?” We want your business and in return for it, we guarantee you SERVICE, FAIR TREATMENT, HONEST WEIGHTS, QUALITY and JUST WHAT YOU BUY. SEE US BEFORE YOU BUY.
