! box car for storing baggage, etc.
! What do you think of that for town
of this size? Don't think there is
/ another town along the B. & o. that
! can boast of box car addition to
! their depot, and then we have the

! that no one can fail TO see it, whether
he is coming or going, so that when
persons arrive instead of seeing the
depot all they can see is the box car.
If you don't believe, come and see for
