" SPEAKING COALWISE."
"Speaking Coalwise" is the title of an attractive
booklet which has just been issued by the Pitts­
burg-Buffalo Co., of Pittsburgh, and whose merit
and value is far beyond even the exceptional typo­
graphical neatness embodied in it. The brochure
contains a well-constructed appeal to the reason
of the consumer of coal. Its argument is neither
a wild declaration of generalities nor a prosaic
recital of claims. It is a clean, pleasant talk on
coal and coal consumption, with enough humor
to spice it properly and enough fact and com­
mon sense, of an uncommon order, to infuse into
the reader's mind the interest and the earnestness
of the author. It is a refreshing departure from
the average mercantile bid for trade and is well
worth the perusal of even the smallest buyer of
coal. The suggestions presented, and which are
implied rather than thrust upon the reader, are
of a character to help not only the business of
the Pittsburg-Buffalo Co.. but that of the coal
trade in general, by placing consumers of every
class in the way of more intelligent buying, and
therefore of more satisfactory results. It is
safe to assert that if the hints and suggestions
contained in this little booklet were to be universally
disseminated and thoroughly worked out,
there would within a brief period be a marvelous
improvement in the attitude of the coal consumer

toward the coal producer and an immense increase
in the profit and satisfaction of both. The
amount of matter to be digested is small, despite
the fact that it takes in both the coals and the
clay products of this company. There are, too.
a number of illustrations which help to accentuate
the points of the argument, and some testimonials
which should carry weight with prospective coal
buyers.
