"WHITE" COAL
CoeTI which can be handled in dinner clothes has been put on to the market at Chicago. The coal, made into cubes, is so clean, salesmen claim, that snowwhite lorries deliver it, white-liveried men carry it, into the house, and householders "can toss it into the fire without smudging their clothes or even their hands." The secret of it all is that the cubes are wrapped in heavy paper. Made of fine coal—known to coalmen as "screenings" or "slack"— mixed with water and glucose binder, the cubes are pressed into shape in the same way as sugar cubes.
