If your anxious to cut down your doctor's bills this winter to keep your family free from a lot of sniffles and coals, then by all all means burn anthracite or hard coal, because anthracite is the healthful fuel. It gives steady, even healthful heat. In contrast to the flashy kind of heat you get from the on and off types of quick burning fuels and friend don't forget this point. Furnaces, cook stoves, and space eaters in this section of the country were especially designed to burn anthracite, and to get America's finest anthracite. Ask for blue coal. Blue coal burns long. And evenly with the furnace anthers practically closed. There's no waiste up the chimney. It gives economical as well as healthful heat. Blue coal is mined by the Glen Alden Coal Company, the world's largest produces of Pennsylvania anthracite. It is laboratory tested at the mines for purity and for uniformity of sizes. If you have never tried blue coal, place a trial order tomorrow. You'll find the name of your nearest blue coal dealer listed in the wet by a section of your classified telephone directory under the name Blue Cold. Thank Kevin's your back.
