The public is cordially invited to a special exhibition of these four B. & O..train innovations. : At Union Statien On Track No. 10 Wednesday, August & Srom twe until ten o’clock AIR-COOLED DINER: “The Martha Washington, a handsomely appointed dining car of the Colonial type, equipped with an air-cooling and gir-cleaning system for reducing temperature in hot weather. Dust, soot, cinders, and excessive humidity are removed from the car air. The only car on any railroad that has this modern, tested device. RECLINING COACHES OVERNIGHT TO NEW YORK: An exclusive B. & O. innovation for those who do not wish to travel in sleeping car berths. Individual reclining seats and foot-rests, a buffet serving light meals at rea- sonable cost, large smoking rooms for men and women, individual wall lights for easy reading, porter service, and other conveniences. INDIVIDUAL SEAT DAY COACHES~— TYPE: “This style of coach designed by the B. & O. and in use on our railroad for several years. Large double windows and individual ventilators, modern washrooms and white enameled washbowls and toilets, filtered drinking water, and many new features not found in the regular standard coach. Individual seat coaches are now in service on all B. & O. main lines. CLUB-LOUNGE CAR: In service on the Columbian special feature train between Washington and New York. Designed and built by the Baltimore & Ohio for this particular service. It is divided into two smoking lounges, both lounges for men and women. In each lounge there is a writing desk with sta- tionery; library table with newspapers and magazines; settees and lounge, easy chairs; card tables and a com- pletely equipped retiring Yoom. This car is for the added convenience of Pullman passengers. in addition to the abeve equipment, there will alse be on exhibition— A RUBBERIZED TRUCK: Same as in all B. & O. coaches and dining cars. Each truck is equipped with 51 rubber pads—at all contact points, where the frame rests and at spring ends—wherever metal touches metal. This eliminates vibration and gives a smooth, joltless ride. The Baltimore & Ohio is the only railroad that is equipped with this latest innovation to insure greater riding ease. . . . s s s ‘We hope you will come to see this latest equipment which is being installed for the added comfort of our Wash- ington passengers.
