86.59 OF WARMTH!
WHY YOU SHOULD BUY EGMONT COAL. There is one prime reason why local people should support Egmont Coal—warmth. It is the need of warmth which prompts you to buy coal; therefore the amount of warmth a stated coal provides is of paramount interest to the Householder. For convenience and in order to standardise the measurement of warmth, analysts and others engaged in this question, use Therms as a measure, by which to express the result of their investigations. The Dominion Analyst’s report on Egmont Coal should be of great interest to local people.
As a result of analyses made by the Dominion Analyst, Egmont Coal was proved to contain 11,880 British Thermal Units to the 11b., an exceedingly good report. It is the fixed carbons and hydro-carbons which are the warmth givers in coal and these then are its most valuable constituents.
In Egmont coal these warmth giving factors were proved by analysis to possess approximately 86.59 of warmth giving constituents, the main portion of which were fixed carbons. Some idea of the high warmth value may be gathered when it is stated that some New Zealand coal finds a ready market which contains only 64.43 of these carbons. —Advt.
