UPPER HOUSE COAL COMPANY beg to refer intending purchasers to the
accompanying testimonial: "Gentlemen,--Do what I will, I cannot
get your coals to light. Put on in sufficient quantity they will
extinguish any fire. I have worn out three drawing-room pokers in my
endeavours to stir them into a flame, but all to no purpose. Steeped
in petroleum, they might possibly ignite in a double-draught furnace,
though I fancy they would put it out. They are as you advertise them,
a 'show coal for summer use.
