The aspect in and around Fowler 4 Ham,
lens dry goods store is becoming quite
metropolitan. The latest enterprise of this
enterprising firm is the adoption of Lawson's
cash railway system, the purpose of which is
to facilitate making change with customers,
and to carry all the money received by the
clerks to the cashiers desk. As arranged at
present each counter has money draw, and
the clerks make change from these. Under
the new arrangement miniature railway
system. with branches connecting with each
OF the eight counters, will be suspended
several feet from the ceiling, having the
cashiers desk as one common center. There
are two sets of railways and both are inclined
planes. The course on one is a down grade
from, and the other to the counters. The
rolling stock on these tracks consists of hol-
low round balls about the size of those used
IN the game Of croquet. They are easily
opened by . turn of the hand. When the
clerk receives cash Of purchaser he sncloses
the money in bali which is placed in . wire
cage. and, by the pulling of . string. dumped
upon the railway. The ball. carried along by
us weight, rolls rapidly down the descending
grade to the cashiers stand, where the money
taken out, the required change put in its
place and the ball committed to the return
uack. 1t then rolls on to the clerk who
removes the contents and gives the customer
'he amount due him. There is bat one cash
system of this kind in use in the State, and
that is in Lewiston. Fowler & Hamlen
WI have theirs in operation by Monday
morning.
