A Grate of Comfort
When you are snug and comfortable
by an open grate of burning coal
do you ever stop to consider that
your comfort depends upon the man
who furnishes you with coal?
There are only certain grades of
coal that makes good grate fires.
If your coal dealers sends you any
kind of coal you are likely to be
without your comfort some day.
We are reliable and you can place
confidence in us.
