In the absence of a state fuel administrator we are writing to you for information. We are running a drug store here and are using coal to heat the building, and our lights are generated by water power.

As we read the law it is very plain that drug stores may not sell anything but drugs before nine o'clock A.M. and after four o'clock P.M., and we have been acting accordingly today. Most of the stores in town (we mean general stores) we are informed have paid very little attention to the matter, and one of manufacturing plants management boasts that they will not regard the matter. 

Now we are trying to do our best in the matter but we want to know at once if the law is to be enforced. We do think it is fair for us to close up and the others to keep right on.

Now please let us know at once what to do and if there is to be no punishment for going right on with the matter as we have been doing, of course we do like the others.

We respectfully await your answer and as we are loseing Monday everyday please let us know at once.
