Valentine, Rich- mond séulptor—were placed in Statu- ary Hall in August. 1909, under an nct of Congress of 1864 inviting all States to furnish statues of citizens “ilustrious for their historic renown.” Representative Woodrum ran across the case accidentally.

Historical records following the Declaration of Independence show that one of the first acts of the new Congress was a duty of 2¢ per bushel on Coal—two-thirds of which was imported. Members of both House and Senate stated that ‘“American Coal mines could supply the entire United States with this valuable material.” Today thousands more tons of clean, high-test Colonial Anthracite are mined and burned each year than the entire consumption of Coal in the United States at that early date. Why not order a trial ton today of Colohial Anthracite— ‘America’s super fuel? Buy Colonial by name as you do foods and other home necessities. Buy Colonial confident that it’s all Coal—clean and pure. Buy Colonial because it’s the modern fuel, that responds quickly to draft or can be checked for days, thanks to thermostatic control. Buy Colonial because it’s economical—no waste—burns to a feathery powdered ash and will not clinker.
