Advertisement by Monks & Miller, Inc. of Seattle, WA, advising customers to purchase coal and wood early for winter to avoid price increases. The front features a cartoon with two men discussing the purchase; one holds a sign saying "NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY YOUR COAL", while the other replies, "YES. BUT WHEN IT IS HOT WEATHER YOU SEE". The business lists its yard locations: 8th & Madison, 5th & Roy, Broadway & Pike, 45th & 1st N. E. The reverse shows a U.S. Postage One Cent "World's Fair" stamp (issued for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition), postmarked Seattle, WA, Aug 3 PM (likely 1909), and is addressed to Adolph Behrus, 912 2nd West, Seattle. |
