Ordering Coals. If the consumer, instead of ordering a large supply of coals at once, will at first content himself with a sample, he may with very little trouble ascertain who will deal fairly with him; and, if he wisely pays ready money, he will be independent of his coal merchant; a situation which few families, even in genteel life, can boast of. 990. The Truest Economy (1). To deal for ready money only in all the departments of domestic arrangement, is the truest economy. This truth cannot be repeated too often. 991. The Truest Economy (2).
