Cut a Cord. Coal Will Be Scarce Next Winter
| Poster with blue and red text. Text reads: "Cut-A-Cord. Wisconsin must cut more wood for next winter's fuel. Coal is scarce and getting scarcer. More and more of it will be needed for war purposes. Warships and munition plants cannot burn wood. We ought not to ask for coal they need. Next winter coal will be scarce. To be prepared. Cut your wood now! Season it next summer! Burn wood and avoid suffering next winder! Comparative fuel values of green and dry wood...Relative fuel value of a cord of dry wood in tons of hard coal... Coal burning stoves and furnaces may be adapted for burning wood by placing strips of sheet iron over the grates or by use of fire brick. W.N. Fitzgerald, Federal fuel administrator for Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wis." |
