The Shadow Returns

Here is an advertisement, posted on Vintage Ads, heralding the return of The Shadow to the radio airwaves, sponsored by "Blue Coal" (a/k/a Anthracite Industries).  I have listened to many of the old Shadow radio shows, most of which include that friendly reminder to ask for "blue coal."
