It isn't just the t rend of modern t imes that hasmade the heater fi re a woman 's job. That has alwaysbeen more t rue than not.
Isn't it the woman who mus t "fi re u p" in t he daytime hours, the woman who feels the atmosphericchanges in a house because she is in it more consistently;the woman who offers the reminder that "i t i s t ime toorder coal"?
That is why we address this message to the "Ladyof the House." I t must mean something to her to burn
coal that wil l g ive more heat and less ash; and it mustbe a reliefto her to know that the coal bins ar e filled withsuch coal in preparation for next winter.
And so we say to her: "See that you r coal bin isfilled now for next winter, and see t ha t i t is filled withJEDDO-HIGHLAND coal. Your job will be lighter."
