It is stated that the following excellent arrangement is in
vogue on the line of railroad from Chicago to Philadelphia. A boy goes around with a card through the
cars, wit numberless refreshments printed thereon, with the price attached to
each, including tea and coffee, and you check such as you want, which are
speedily brought to you on a slaver from the commissary car. – Toledo Blade.
We like that, and hope the improvement will come west. Then a man who is so unfortunate as to be
compelled to travel for a living or for pleasure needn’t swallow his victuals
whole to get fifty cents’ worth or more in the nominal twenty minutes allowed
him for “grub.” Send that improvement
West. It will be good for dyspeptics, if
nobody else.
