"L" Brand Forge Coke is now available in 50 pound bags. Below is an e-mail from Ed Avolio announcing the marketing change in "L" Brand Forge Coke. For those of you who do now know about commercial coke, it is a very clean and hot burning fuel. It takes some getting used to because it is harder to start than coal and harder to keep going than coal. Most people burn some coal with the coke to make it easier to start and stay lit.

HABA will accumulate orders for forge coke in bag quantities and pallet quantities and sell it for $10 per bag. HABA will order a minimum of one ton of coke. All coke HABA orders will be delivered to Frank Walter's shop on he NW side of Houston. Frank has a fork lift to offload and then help you reload your order. Any money HABA can save on transportation will go into HABA's coffers.

Please give him your name, address, phone number and e-mail address if you have one. Make checks out to HABA. The cost of the coke will be $10 per bag. The cost of $10 per bag is based on a quote received from Ed Avolio. See the e-mail below. As far as we know there will be not sales tax. If there is and HABA is not able to cover the cost, HABA will get back in touch with you.

NOTE: The order will be placed October 1, 2002. Your money needs to be in Arlie's hands by Monday September 30. Arlei will let you know when the coke arrives and give you directions to Frank Walter's shop.
Please Note: The check to pay for your order needs to be in Arlie's hands no later than September 30! If you want to order coke directly from Ed Avolio, all of the ordering information is below.
