This trip of loaded cars contain mine run coal, ready to be dumped, that 'White Oak' is proud to put its trade mark on as a stamp of approval. It has received every care in mining, shooting and transportation that can possibly be given any coal up to the point where it is ready to be sized and loaded into railroad cars. This coal, due to careful shooting, is not friable but firm and will handle in railroad cars through to destination with minimum of degradation.

Title:
Miners' Houses and Train Cars Filled with Coal at Cranberry, W. Va.
Date:
ca. 1950
Description:
Caption on back reads, 'This section of Cranberry shows fine houses and fine coal.'
Text on back reads, 'This is the smallest size prepared coal in the White Oak group of prepared sizes but a more uniformly sized coal is not offered by any shipper than this small nut. For steam purposes it cannot be excelled, because freedom from slack produces excellent combustion and absence of impurities prevents clinkering. It is a washed size exclusively and of uniform quality. A careful examination of the picture indicates it is absolutely free of slack due to it passing over a high speed vibratory screen just before being discharged on the loading boom for loading into the railroad car.'
