TRAIN in CANDY

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has not advertised the excur-
sion, but one OF the pleasantest trips
OF the summer IS that being run by
Pennsylvania engine No 1913. On one
side, is the Delaware, chuck full OF
sailing boats, and on the Other side
the scenery Is literally delicious.
There are numerous stops ~ Cara
mella, Chocolate Heights, Pineapple
Cream and West Pineapple Cream,
and there Is the great salt water taffy
valley stretching out from the towns
as far as eye can reach, in every
direction. The roadbed is of nuts.
When the trip is done, and every
ticket sold is for a round trip, the
engine runs back to It's starting
point.-the Pennsylvania Station, Of
course, only the station has under
gone several changes. It Is IN a
much more convenient location. being
uptown in the heart OF the business
section-in the window OF the Bos-
ton Confectionery, at Eighth and
Market streets. The station is made
OF molasses brittle, and the platform
clock Is on duty in the tower.
Govatos Brothers are the board Of
directors Of this new branch of the
railroad. Nicholas Govatos was the
originator and designer of the clever
decoration. The window draws nu-
merous spectators, who say, TITS
