BLACK DIAMOND Lump Coal is back on the market in en- larged quantities to meet the demand that years of wonderful ser- vice have created. Knowing what a tremendous favorite BLACK DIAMOND Lump Coal is, and feeling that the Seattle public should have first call, we have rearranged our railroad contracts to make available for local use a much greater amount of this famous product of the BLACK DIAMOND mines. Instead of coming dewn to the yards at 5:30 in the morning— almost sleeping in their trucks—to be the first in line for BLACK DIAMOND Lump, local dealers and -teamsters may now feel they can be cared for out of the enlarged supply. Yet because of the still limited amount of BLACK DIAMOND Lump we are unable to stock the yards of retail dealers. Your regular dealer can get it from us for you. If you have difficulty obtaining the genuine BLACK DIAMOND product, come direct to us. Don’t delay with your order! We are expecting a tremendous demand that may soon exhaust our supply. But Black Diamond Lump is not the only good fuel. DIAMOND BRIQUETS are in the same high class. Fresh and crisp, minted at Briquetville by improved methods of handling and operation, they are better than ever; ready to serve yoy efficiently, econom- av in furnace, range, grate, stove. All these fuels are in easy call: Newcastle Coal Franklin Coal Issaquah Coal King Coal (Utah) Anthracite Coal Alliance | by the as the i Hyde Coal South Prairie Coal Black Diamond Coal Sea Coal (for foundries) Blacksmith Coal 4 he pret imirers| w HEED THE WARNING—DELAY NO LONGER IN FILLING YOUR FUEL BINS 663 Railroad Avenue South.
