PORTABLE LUNCHES
New System on the Iowa Cen
tral a Great Success.

The Iowa Central is making great
success out Of their portable lunch
depagt ment9 that was recently install.
"a on the eastern division Of the road
to take the place Of the dining car
service. The dining car was q success
Tor the passenger service Of the road
but 1t was causing dissatisfaction to
the management Of the road on &C,
count Of the loss Of time caused In the
switching Of the car and the dropping
and the picking up necessary on
changing irom one train to another.
The lunch service had become so
popular among the patrons of the road
thar the service could not be discon-
tinued altogether A happy thought
was hit upon and a portable lunch
carrier was devised for the purpose.
This was made to carry the cuisine
department. OF the diner. 1t could
easily be transferred from one train
TO another and no delay caused.
Lunches are served to order and the
menu card embraces about as COM
plete a meal as was possible on the
dining car at any time, Ii a traveller
desires a lunch it is served on a tray
and ii a more elaborate meal is order
"a a table is brought to the seat.
The portable diner requires the at
tention Of a cook and waiter and it
was placed in the hands of the Ally
son News Company as sort of an
experiment by the passenger depart
ment of the road. The results Of the
einnoyation," as the thing was called
at first, have been so satisfactory that
the practice will be permanent on the
eastern division Of the road. and the
adyisability of placing the service on
all OF the Iowa Central trains is being
carefully considered by both the news
agents and the Central passenger de
partment.
The service as it now stands Is only
on the passenger trains on the eastern
division between meeting points, East
bound on passenger train No. 4 be-
tween Keithsburg and London Mills.
West bound on passenger train No. .
from London Mills to Brighton; east
again Of train No, to London Mills
and then from London Mills west to
Keithsburg on train No, 3. It is said
that service as now arranged is prac-
teal, profitable and satisfactory to
both patrons and the company. The
dining car was a money maker for the
company hut the portable service is
SO much easier handled and the cost
of maintenance is 50 much less that
the advantages in its favor are almost
without number
The Introduction of the service on
some of the other trains of the Gem
trails divisions would be greatly ap-
preciated.
