ride in "A Pullman or Tourist car all
over the United States and hardly
ever know the names of the towns
and cities throu gh which you are pass
ing, unless you carry Il railway guide
and time table. are sure your watch
is correct. and know that your train
is Junning on time. Did you ever
notice that about nine times out of
ten when you ask IA trainman what
city or town it is through which you
are passing, that he will invariably
look at his watch, refer to the time
table or little book which he carries
in his pocket for the information?
He would be lost if he did not carry
that guide book and time table with
him for information that should be
automatically displayed in each car
for the convenience and benefit of
pa ssengers and trainmcn alike. Then

only have to be able to see and read
Not only Pullman and Tourist. but
all cars OF a train are practically the
same. You have sometimes heard the
trainmen, generally brakeman on
steam road, try to call the attention
to stations on local trains, when more
than half the time not a person in
the car can tell what he says. and
the other half he don't know himself

you fcan tell what state you are in.

very doubt full We all know that
great number of trainmcn have to
put in long hours without sleep. and
are overworkcd. That fact alone
ought to be good and sufficient rea-
son why the railway companies should
have and install our indicators over
their entire systems throughout the
country. And more especially the
street car systems. thereby removing
from the mind of conductor and mot
orman the strain of uncertainty as
to what the next street will be. Did
you ever work on an electric system
and feel that strainl Its great; ask
any of the boys they will know;
don't look for old men, they are hard
to find; that strain has put them
out of business. The companies have
tried hard to save the boys too. by
having the different state legislatures
pess laws for their protection; havn't
you seen posted up in all the street
cars a notice calling passengers at
Il ntion law. for speaking to the mot
orman' These fellows nearly all
lcithcr lose their job or die young,
and it is nothing but the constant
strain under which they are trying
to make living for themselves and
those dependent upon them.
Our Proposition and Object Desired
There is nothing that you have seen
quite like this wonderful little bit
Of machinery, that could at all COM
pare with it. 1t is the only perfect
street or station indicator that will
today, tomorrow and at all times au-
tomatically perform the duties re-.
quircd Of it, irrespective of atmos-
phe1ic conditions, against all odd and
adverse circumstances, without any
further human aid than is necessary
to start IT. Yet so simple. Wlthal.
that a child could operate it if an
operator was needed.
This proposition is well worth in
vcstigating; there is a future for it
that will surely bring comfort and
ease TO the person who will take an
interest for financing the introduce
ton of our Indicator and Advertise
ing Device to the public. by INSTALL
