These Backed Up Over Here the Brave Boys Over There
THE following pages deal with that big army which was all of the time backing up here at home, by economizing, buying Liberty Bonds, contributing to war funds and tirelessly pushing their respective trades and industries at fullest capacity that the boys over there might feel the fullest support and carry their arms to final success just in the manner that they did.
With the same loyalty and unselfishness that characterized the business and profes- sional men, the commercial and industrial interests of the county during the war, so these men, firms and corporations represented in the following pages show themselves still to be backing the soldier now that he is home from battle by ordering these accountings of their stewardship in those perilous days and thus making possible such an elaborate and permanent history in which to preserve the glorious deeds of the soldiers from this county.
In that the end of the war marks the opening of a new epoch in the history of this nation, the Williamson County War History Society deemed it quite fitting that the professional, business and industrial conditions be reviewed at this time. For when the future historians look to this period for material they will have a true and complete picture of the county in all its activities in this important period. It will serve as a "Who's Who" book of the period-something, unfortunate to say, we have been left at the close of no other war.
Every business, every public official, every corporation, every industry in this county was cordially invited and those not responding, urgently solicited to be represented in these pages. It was fully explained to those who held out and are still not represented that every patron of these pages mean a contribution to the most permanent and fitting memorial that could be erected to the honor of the soldier. Every man who answered the call of his country to arms in this county will be able to see for himself those ever patriotic men who did respond to our request and thereby thought enough of the soldier to aid the society in preserving for this and future generations his part in the Great War. The response was indeed magnificent and none certainly will ever feel ashamed of what is written here. The following pages speak for themselves.

PRODUCERS OF ENERGY COAL
>
HERBERT H. TAYLOR, President; E. H. KELLER, Vice-President; B. L. SHEPARD, Secretary; H. J. ENIS, Treasurer; R. W. CLASSEN, Adv. Mgr .; GRANT SAYLOR, Mine Supt. Main Office: Old Colony Building, Chicago.
TAYLOR COAL CO.

--
No. 2 MINE AND WASHER AT HERRIN, ILL.
SOME ten or fifteen years ago, Herbert 2 Taylor, of Chicago, a young man with considerable experience in the coal trade, organized the Taylor Coal Company. The company's first venture was the acquisition of two mines and the washer just outside of Herrin, Illinois, and at the same time Mr. Taylor hit upon a name for his coal and a trademark that have since become famous in the coal trade. The name itself, Energy, has had a good deal to do with the building of the morale of the organization, for often, especially after the men went to France, was the organization spoken of as the Energy
family. As a family it is not wrongly named for it is one of the brighest and livest organizations in the coal trade today, an organization in which Mr. Taylor takes a tremendous personal pride, asking but one thing of his men, unswerving loyalty.
What has all this to do with Williamson County's part in the war? Just this. The man who gives his employer the best that is in him gives his country the same kind of loyalty and every report from the mines bringing new names to be added to the bronze Roll of Honor hanging in the Chi- cago office was read with pride and interest,
256
.
· for these were the men who put Energy into the fight.
It has been hard to get the individual records of the men but the names of four are marked with gold stars.
Mike McNeil, Co. I, 49th Inf., died in camp in this country; Preston Staton, Co. F, 7th Engineers, was killed in action, as was also Cecil Draper, Co. A, 120th Inf. . Edward N. Davis, of the Chicago office of the Com- pany, a member of the machine gun com- pany of the 130th Infantry, died of wounds received in action. Of those who went over and came back with decorations there is no record nor is there any record of the promo- tions received by the men. That they acquit- ted themselves with honor goes without say- ing and is indicated in the tables which slip out on rare occasions.
The men who entered the service of the government are not by any means however the only ones who served. Theirs was the dangerous, the hard, uncomfortable, dis- agreeable and sacrificing service, but, al- though in a lesser degree, the men who stayed at home served as well. Never in the
history of the coal trade were the men asked to work as they were during the period of the war, never did they rise to an emergency more loyally. The four mines of the com- pany clustered about Herrin have a daily capacity of about 7500 tons and they together with the other mines did noble work.
5
In addition to their daily work a number of the men put in extra time on the Liberty Loans, and all of the war work campaigns. Among the men in the Chicago office there were three or four who worked on every loan and every war work campaign while six of the others gave half of their time to work in the Fuel Administration offices in Chicago.
Such is the record of the Taylor Coal Com- pany in the war of 1917-1918.
One hundred and twenty-five, out of one thousand to twelve hundred men, in active service, the balance doing their bit at home, is a record of which any firm may well be proud of, and the Taylor Coal Company takes this opportunity to pay tribute to the members of the Energy family who served their country, particularly those who sacri- ficed all.

Ernest Coal Company
"F FRANCO COAL" has become well known among the large coal users, through the sales agency of Cosgrove & Company, Old Colony Building, Chicago, who are sell- ing agents of the Ernest Coal Company. This company operates three mines, one at Johns- ton City and two at Pittsburg, in Williamson county. One of the mines at Pittsburg began production the past summer.
The veins of the Franco mines run from nine to eleven feet in thickness and are what is known as the celebrated No. 6 vein, which in these particular mines tests 13,000 B. T. U. -a remarkable heating figure in comparison with hard coal.
These mines are equipped with the very latest screening devices which makes "Franco Coal" uniform from top to bottom. Besides the screening devices they maintain a special ever moving picking table and shaking screen, which very few mines use, producing a select coal sorted and picked for domestic or family use.
The executive officers are H. J. Meeham, president, Johnstown, Penn .; Frank Finsth, secretary-treasurer, Cherry Tree, Penn. J. S. Crosgrove, Chicago, is president of the Pitts- burg mine, the other officers are the same as the Johnston City mine. The main office is maintained at Johnston City and the local officers there are: R. B. Mitchell, superin- tendent; B. H. Schull, assistant superintend- ent, and Harry Woods, chief clerk.
The company employs a large number of miners and other employees-they and the officers were very active in all war work and have a splendid record, the Johnston City mine having the distinction of being the first mine in the State making a 100 per cent record on the third and fourth Liberty Loan drives, every employee subscribing for bonds and War Savings Stamps.
The honor roll of the two mines in operation during the war period is given as complete as possible on the following page.
