Re: Tuscarora Almanac for August 1

Posted by Peter Rosa on Sun Aug 1 10:03:40 2021, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for August 1, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sun Aug 1 08:55:43 2021.

All the advertisements for the Lackawanna's "Phoebe Snow" character showed her dressed entirely in white yet spotlessly clean. It was a way of promoting the line's use of clean-burning anthracite coal from Pennsylvania rather than the much dirtier bituminous coal that almost all other railroads used ("My gown stays white, from morn till night, upon the Road of Anthracite.")
