Large Assortment

You see, effective September 1, prices in theentire section advanced from the summer level.. But the new price is lower than that prevailinglast year. It averages 75c per ton lower for mostof the grades of anthracite sold here.

Lower than other coal costs are those of L. M.Thompson's Lehigh Valley and Delaware 'andLackawanna Anthracite Coal-BECAUSE Out coalis harder and cleaner. And that means morcenduring heat for each ton you buy here.

And therefore we contend that althoug.h coalprices have advanced, you pay less this year thanlast, and when you buy L. M. Thompson's coal,you get more heat for your money. '
