What Is it, Jimr'
"a wagon, my boy, which I can load at
the theatre and put straight on board the
car at the depot. They cost me s45O00
apiece, but they save the expense and labor
and time Of loading and unloading at the
depot, which makes al the difference when
your company leaves the theatre at IL
o'clock and the train starts at IL. Then the
scenery is packed by my own men, who
know how to handle 1T, instead OF by igno-
rant train hands and baggage snashers who
knock it all to pieces. How does it worka
Why simply enough. have my wagons
made Of such size thai they just Fit on to
an open freight car. Well, they are loeded
at the theatre, driven down to the depos, run
up couple Of sl1ids from the truck, and
there you are. Simple, isn't it, and the sort
of things any one would think of. Just 50,
butyou see no one ever did think of it until I
did.H
