Caption on back reads, 'The one grade White Oak is mighty proud of its Domestic Mine Run. Here you see twenty-two cars of this grade at our Cranberry No. 3 Mine. This Mine Run is very coarse; free from impurities; has a bright shiny appearance and we ship a million tons of it every year. Just think of it, 20,000 cars of this fine fuel shipped to satisfied customers each year. We also want you to notice the background of the picture, showing the neat homes occupied by the men who mine 'White Oak' coal. Notice also how neat the surroundings are. Houses are kept neatly painted; yards fenced; grounds kept clean and everything possible done to provide a nice place for employees to live.'
