FREE SHIPPING - AS USUAL
Vintage, totally original ca. 1940s (before phone word/2 letter prefixes) blotter advertising Black Creek and Cahaba Coal from Jim Smith Coal Company, 1206 Sixth Avenue North, Birmingham Alabama. Also advertises Coke.
Measures 7 x 3
1/8
inches.
I wonder if this later became the Smith Coal Sales Company owned by my late friend Ed Edward Craig?
Lightly soiled; short 1/2 inch tear on right side at a slightly longer modest crease; corners bumped a bit; never used as blotter but does have some faint pencil notations on the blotter side. NEAR VERY GOOD

WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT
NO EXCEPTIONS.
FREE SHIPPING via stiff plastic postcard holder and/or cardboard + plastic sleeve protected 1st class mail, STANDARD RATE.
Regardless of what ebay may say on their "Shipping Page" - while STANDARD MAIL is perfectly safe for smaller & less expensive items - it is NOT the same grade of service as a "First Class Mail Parcel." Buyer MAY opt in (at a small-ish extra charge) for upgraded 1st class mail package rate (with TRACKING #)  at checkout if they choose to do so.
PAYPAL IS THE MUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT. Thanks!
Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND
NOT
FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder.
PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS.
In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!
