"SANDSTONE CENTER OF THE WORLD" com OUTLOOK NOLSO BAD NO FEAR OF SHORTAGE IF MINERS DON'T STRIKE, SAY DEALERS. Buying Throughout the Summer Supplied Many Customer*—Oood Supply on Hand. A News-Times reporter, In interviewing the coal dealers of Amherst this week, found in their various opinions, that the coal situation locally is likely not to be serious this winter. * Coal probably will he used more this winter than last because of the uncertainty of the gas supply, upon which many Amherst homes depend for heat during the winter. The Logan Gas company officials say that no one should depend on gas alone for heating this year. Manager .1. H. Schlbley of the Amherst Supply company says that, from i. dealer's standpoint, he does not think the situation acute. He stated that customers of the supply company have been buying their winter's supply throughout the summer, thus getting better coal, better prices and better service. His company has a good supply of Pocahontas coal tor the winter on hand now and more is coming. Mr. Schlbley thinks his customers will be well supplied if the miners do not strike. Ruth Saya "Order Now." H. A. Ruth, of the Plato Coal & Supply Co., said if the miners strike there will be a shortage, but otherwise the supply in his yards is normal and there is nothing to worry about. His customers hava co-operated well in the national movement to buy coal during the summer. Mr. Ruth says if anyone has not yet his winter's supply in the cellar or ordered, he should get busy at once and take no chances. He calls the car situation much better than a year ago, but in many cases the dealers are not able to get the kind of cars they wish. Jacob Miller agrees that there will be an acute situation if the miners walk out. He says his customers have been buying freely, and that he has a fair supply of coal on band and several cars more on the road. On the car situation he said it looks good, that the local quarries are getting more cars than they need, while formerly they were short. Assure Your Needs Now. To make sure of an ample suppty of coal for heating this winter, one should order his supply at once, If not already ordered. The dealers say that although there Is not much danger of a shortage unless the miners strike, the people should be perpared. ■»«—•—■ AArWWVWWWArWWWVSArW.

A News-Times reporter, In interviewing the coal dealers of Amherst this week, found in their various opinions, that the coal situation locally is likely not to be serious this winter. * Coal probably will he used more this winter than last because of the uncertainty of the gas supply, upon which many Amherst homes depend for heat during the winter. The Logan Gas company officials say that no one should depend on gas alone for heating this year. Manager .1. H. Schlbley of the Amherst Supply company says that, from i. dealer's standpoint, he does not think the situation acute. He stated that customers of the supply company have been buying their winter's supply throughout the summer, thus getting better coal, better prices and better service. His company has a good supply of Pocahontas coal tor the winter on hand now and more is coming. Mr. Schlbley thinks his customers will be well supplied if the miners do not strike.

Ruth, of the Plato Coal & Supply Co., said if the miners strike there will be a shortage, but otherwise the supply in his yards is normal and there is nothing to worry about. His customers hava co-operated well in the national movement to buy coal during the summer. Mr. Ruth says if anyone has not yet his winter's supply in the cellar or ordered, he should get busy at once and take no chances. He calls the car situation much better than a year ago, but in many cases the dealers are not able to get the kind of cars they wish. Jacob Miller agrees that there will be an acute situation if the miners walk out. He says his customers have been buying freely, and that he has a fair supply of coal on band and several cars more on the road. On the car situation he said it looks good, that the local quarries are getting more cars than they need, while formerly they were short. Assure Your Needs Now.
