656 THE COLLIERY GUARDIAN. September 25, 1914. Prevent Colliery Explosions! It is far cheaper to provide means of preventing explosions than to suffer the enormous loss they cause. Stone Dusting minimises the danger. Stone Dust is easily and cheaply made if you have one of Allen’s Special Stone Dust Making Plants. They are simple, strong and self-contained. They have many advantages over other types of machines. If you do not yet know about them, write at once for details ! Edgar Allen & Co. Limited, Imperial Steel Works, SHEFFIELD.
