CWe will write you a positive truarantee that PANTHER coal has every single 

 desirable feature of the best Pocahontas, except that it makes a little more smoke. 



Last year (first year produced) we got seven Florists that were using 

 Pocahontas to try Panther. Six of them are still using Panther. "Freight 

 rate to Western points is 15c and 20c lower than Pocahontas. Mine run 

 carries about iSo to 70% lump. It's cheaper than Pocahontas. Get our
