Four new cars that the Fair Haven and
Westville company have just received
| from Brooklyn are the finest box cars ever
seen in this city. They are numbered So,
| Ga, 65 and g. They were built by the
of Brooklyn, N. Y. The most striking
| feature of these cars are the wide windows
| which extend to the roof. This gives no
| space on the outside for lettering, which
| in the other cars is over the windows. The
lettering, however, is on the body of the
car under the windows, danked at each
end by the number of the car. The in
creased window space makes the cars very
light. The ventilators on the roof are
much higher than those of the ordinary
car, which will render them much cooler
in summers. Under the seats the space is
boxed in-another great improvement over

build will soon arrive.
