Manager Louderbsck is designing uni>
forms for his motormen and conductors
for winter wear. He is anxious to get
something which will be comfortable and
at the same time neat and not cumber-
some. The clothwill be dark blue
and of heavy material. The motor men
will have long overcosts, coming nearly
TO their ankles, with cape such as can be
placed up over the head in case of ex-
IRENE cold or blizzard, while the con-
ductors will have short double breasted
sack coats, the pockets of which will be
lined with leather for convenience in
handling the nickels. The motormen
and como uctors will have caps alike of
some serviceable design. 1t would not
be well for the street car men to purchase
their winter overcoats or caps until they
hear from headquarters unless they want
to run the risk of buying two outfits.
