longer than they had anticipated. They 

 are still relying upon these storage piles 

 in the main, the need for additional coal 

 being easily taken care of by current 

 production in the few mines that are 

 running on short time. The current use 

 of domestic coal is light, because the 

 weather is warm. The retail dealers 

 are short of money and are not buying 

 coal for storage purposes. 



"The anthracite situation has been 

 extremely dull, but this week brought 

 an improvement in the east, where buy- 

 ing increased a little, but is still below 

 normal. Trade is lighter now than it 

 has been since discount prices were es- 

 tablished in 1903. 



"Only West Virginia is shipping to 

 the lakes. Even the small amount of 

 coal now being forwarded is congesting 

 the lower lake ports, first because boa^ 

 have no downbound cargoes and are not 

 running, and second, because if boats 

 were available storage capacity is con- 

 gested in the upper lakes regions. 



"The river trade is extremely dull, 

 first, because there is small demand in 

 that direction, and second, because the 

 spring rainfalls have been so light that 

 the boating stage on the river is of 

 shorter duration than at any time in 

 years. This gives no outlet for the coal 

 production of western Pennsylvania and 

 West Virginia. 



"Generally the contracting for coal is 

 delayed because labor troubles have 

 cleared in no important point. Indiana 

 is and Illinois will shortly be out of the 

 woods. It is expected Pennsylvania's 

 delay will not be long. Ohio will be 

 shut down for a good while, because 

 there is no agreed basis for a cost of 

 production, there can be no selling price 

 and therefore there can be no contract. 

 Meanwhile steam users everywhere are 

 supplied with coal from their storage 

 piles and are not buying in the open 

 market. ' ' 



Dubuque, la. — The departure of Lent 

 was the signal for the reawakening of 

 business, according to A. L. Glaser, who 

 reports Mothers' day as big, with the 

 prospect for a record-breaking Memorial 

 day and a good June. Bedding work is 

 sure to be heavy this year. Mr. Glaser, 

 who has used motor delivery for some 

 time, has purchased a touring car, in- 

 tending to drive it himself.

WHIN YOU BUY-aiT A KROCSCHKLL 

 THE BOILER OF OENUINE BmCIENCY 



Get the Kroeschell Tint 



Several yeara ago Mr. Ponting cor- 

 responded with us in regard to the 

 Kroeschell Hot Water Boiler, but was 

 persuaded to Install two sectional cast 

 Iron boilers which were claimed to be 

 superior to the Kroeschell. 



In the meantime we placed a num- 

 ber of Kroeschell Boilers in the im- 

 mediate vicinity of Mr. Pontlng, and 

 he could not help but notice their 

 great efficiency, and last year, while 

 at the convention, he placed his order 

 for his first Kroeschell. The follow- 

 ing letter speaks for itself: 



"We like the Kroeschell Boiler very 

 much. It gives entire satisfaction, 

 and it is so easy to fire. I will trade 

 you the two cast iron sectional hoilera 

 for another like the Kroeschell I 

 have."

Every Boiler •! the Highest Standard 



MATEBIAL — Governed by Kroeschell apecifloa- 

 tions — the best that money and brains can pro- 

 duce. WORKMANSHIP— the kind that la an 

 inspiration to all boiler makers. BOILEB EF- 

 FICIENCY— determined by actual tests under 

 working conditions. BOILER RATINGS — honest 

 and true blue— guaranteed actual working ca- 

 pacities. 



Get the Kneichell Pint 



In 1911 I purchased a No. 1 Kroe- 

 schell boiler to heat our uptown plant 

 and can truthfully say that thia boiler 

 has given entire satisfaction, as It 

 does the work so easily. 



At our other place we had a large 

 cast iron sectional boiler; two years 

 ago we cracked two (2) sections and 

 but for the mild weather would have 

 lost everything before we could make 

 repairs. That experience was enough 

 for me to show me that the cast iron 

 boiler man has the best of it when I 

 went to him for new sections, as they 

 could only be gotten from blm, and 

 he made the price to suit himself. So 

 this year (1913) I thought I would 

 take no more chances, so we Just in- 

 stalled a No. 5 Kroeschell. I can get 

 better results with the Kroeschell 

 than with any other boiler 1 have ever 

 fired. I believe if the Kroeschell were 

 better known amongst the growers 

 generally they would use no other.
