another salesman for the SELF Schwab
Shoe Company of Chicago, were in the
city to supply their customer, Mr. Hen
ry Hendrickson. They had regular
shoe emporium on wheels, an Overland
car fitted up with big case and many
drawers in which a great variety of
leather goods is carried We were
told that fifty statesmen for the SELF
Schwab people are making their trips
in this way, railroad fare and freight
rates having become so excessive that
the auto way is more economical and
better time is made. We notice, too,
that statesmen for all classes of trade
are using machines. This is a point
er to the way government manage
ment Of railroads is leading. The first
thing congress will be asked to do
when it soon convenes in extraordin-
airy session is to appropriate billion
dollars to make up the deficit in rail
road losses for a few months past.
