The Coal Situation.
W. T. Baze & Sons
Snyder Texas.
Gentlemen:
I have your letter of June 8 with
attached heading from newspaper.
It is unfortunate that the press of
today seems to dwell upon everything
to keep the public up in the air. It
used to be that wa looked to the
newspapers as our guide in educa-
tion of worthwhile thlncs. but It
s-ems today that anything that they
can head-line as sensational Is the
popular plan and It is too bad that
the coal operator and retail coal deal-
tr have no means to get tho same 1 NKV AIVKHTISIN MANAGKll
publicity to tho public to eullghten
them of the erroneous statements
made because as they hold back in
'purchasing eMentluls when It Is
found that the Information given
them is without any scmblunce ot
truth everyone Is In at once and no
one can be. takeu care of.
We note you wish us to discontinue
shipments until you advise us to re-
sume and of course we will be gov-
erned accordingly. Rut there is no
use in our disguising the fact that It
I going to be Impossible for the coal
operators of this country to nny-
where near supply the demand' for
coal this fall and winter because of
the enormous demand that will b
upon them due to the lack of stor-
age coal in all portions of the coun-
try. The mines cannot produce any
more coal In one month than another.
Mr. John R. Baze of Snyder Texas
has been engaged as advertising man-
ager for the Texan and reported for
duty Tuesday morning.
Mr. Raze is a practical printer of
twenty years experience and is fa-
miliar with all departments of the
bi'slness. lie was for eight years
connected with the Roswell Morning
.News as writer and printer. 'and has
j held responsible positions elsewhere.
He will be glad to assist advertisers
In the preparation of their copy or
will Jot down any news items that
may be given him. Dalhart Texan.

transport nny more coal or. In fac j
any more freight in tan ana winter
months than they can In the summer
months. In fact they are very
much like the coal operators. Their
transportation Is slowed up with op-
erations under fall and winter weath-
er conditions even if they had equip-
ment to supply the mines constantly
and. of course we know that In the
late summer fall and winter months
the shortage of cars Is always pro-
nounced and this year especially it
will be more so. as the equipment on
the average railroad today is In terri-
ble condition and the motive power
us well. On many of the railroads
the track is terribly run down so that
when the consuming public starts to
realize that they must get their sup
ply of coal everyone will be In at i
once and there will only be an oceas- i
ional car that can be furnished each
community and there Is every indi-
cation that the suffering this fall and
winter in the absence of .sMffieU'lit
fuel will be the worst ever experi-
enced in this country.
If you could get the spare In vour
newspaper to give this Information
to the public. If it did not result in
Immediate purchase of coal on their
part the fact that you had warned
them would be very muclii Jn your
favor later on when everybody starts
to condemning you for failure to sup-
ply them with a necessity like coal
and you can then refer to the warn-
ing given through the press and
thereby show that you have done ev-
erything you could to awaken them
to the seriousness of the situation.
Yours very truly

Just imagine for a minute that
some power could stop all adver-
tising. How would that affect you?
It would cut you off from all di-
tect commercial news about things
that you need and use in your every-
day life. Somebody might be selling
a new better more economical food;
rii utensil that would save money
and time; or an article that would
add greatly to your comfort and well-
being; or some better material for
making shoes or clothing but you
would never know it.
.Manufacturers would be unable to
tell you about new and better things.
They would thus find It hard to put
these things on th-e market and often
would not try.

vertising pays not only the adver
tiser

hare seen It glisten in tiny teardrops

monds when the morning sun burst
In resplendent glory over the eastern
hills; I bar seen It trickle down the
mountain's side in tiny rivulets with
