BIG IMPROVEMENT
IN The new CARS
that ARE COMING
All Vestibule Sides to Be Closed
While Coaches Are in
Motion.
OPEN AUTOMATICALLY
Pretty Monogram Trade Mark to
Adorn Sides and All Rolling
Stock Hersk~er.

General Superintendent ]. G. Hun
toon of the Tri-City Railway company
leaves tomorrow night for st. Louis
to hurry along the construction of cars
for the Rock Island and Moline lines,
which are building in the shops of
the st. Louis Car company and the
American Car conpcry Twenty of
these cars were contracted for de-
livery the middle of August, the others
to come by October 1.
While it has already been said the
cars are to be of the latest type OF
pay-as-you-enters, and TO embrace the
good points of the two styles the COM
pany had before the fire, there will be
number of innovations not before in
troduced in the Tri-City system.
The vestibule sides will be entirely
closed and provided with swinging
doors which will be opened auto
matically by the conductor as passen-
gers enter and leave the car. While
the car is in motion the doors will re-
main closed thus minimizing the dan
| ger from accidents attendant upon
people stepping on or Off the cars as
well as keeping them more comfortable
in the winter season. The plan is
metropolitan and is being introduced
in the large cities.
TRADE MARK MONOGRAM.
In the matter of adornment the new
cars will be improved too. Superin-
! tendent Huntoon having designed a
very pretty monogram, carrying the
initials of the company's name 1T. G.
Ry. Co." which will appear in the
center of the side panel in place of
the number, while the number will
appear at either end of the panel as
well as on the end. The monogram
will not only be painted on the new
cars, but will be placed on all the old
cars as they go through the shops. 1t
will likewise appear on the snow
p.ows, work cars, wrecking cars and
sprinklers owned by the company. In
fact. it will be the company's trade
mark and a very pretty adornment al
that
Mr.. Huntoon says the new cars will
be the very best that are made and
that he may surprise the people OF
Rock Island and Moline by having
the lines here equipped early in Sep

Huntoon's part will count for any
thing, he will make good in his cal
