(erielack) Trivia Question

["Paul Brezicki" <doctorpb_@_bellsouth.net>]

Anthracite retailers would often identify coal by the RR that brought it in;
ie: "D&H Coal", "Lehigh Valley Coal". Since RR's were in the public
consciousness in those days, I imagine it was a method of "branding" an
otherwise generic product.

Which brings up a point, how far back was Lackawanna coal referred to as
such?  Was that a common reference to anthracite, like Kleenex is to
tissues?
