Fire small amounts of coal often. 2. Keep fuel bed even by putting coal on thin spots. Avoid raking and slicing. 3. Keep fuel bed about six inches thick. 4. Look out for air leaks in brickwork. 5. Increase or decrease steam pressure by opening or closing draft damper in uptake. 6. Clean fires when the demand for steam is small, and while cleaning have the draft hamper partly closed."; "United States Fuel Administration") encouraging conservation of coal, and featuring F.

Artist: F. Sindelar

Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning!

Condition: good. The poster is pretty heavily rippled due to exposure to moisture (see our image). It has some paper loss and a few tears at left (one is approximately 3" at center). It is otherwise "all there" and is still colorful and after linenbacking (at which time it is likely that many if not all of the ripples would be removed and the minor staining would be corrected through chemical means) the rare poster would display quite well.
