...Scenes" Posters such as this in Chicago last week testified to a brand new development in U. S. railroad sales technique. It is traditional for small boys to want to be locomotive engineers. U. S. railroads have lately discovered that many an adult male has never outgrown that ambition. Result in the past three months has been an epidemic of "Off the Beaten Path" railway tours whose success has been as immediate and as surprising to railroad men as was the popularity of the first snow train...
...charges on which he expected to send the defendants to jail. Two years ago, cried Prosecutor Ferguson, Reginald L. Rankin, a onetime Washington lumberman, conceived the idea of a great businesslike abortaria chain to accommodate the thousands of California, Oregon and Washington women who wished to avoid the logical result of conception. First step was to make a deal with a skilled operator, Dr. George Eliot Watts of Los Angeles, graduate of the University of Oregon Medical School in 1895.

Meantime a cranky steam valve had permitted the press to grow hotter and heavier with the result that Inventor Mason found, instead of a fibrous board, a dense, grainless, rigid sheet of material, which, in its present refined form of "Presdwood," accounts for 70% of Masonite's business. The other 30% is in fibre insulating board...
...clean new forms for efficient budgeting, sent them experts in store-brightening and toothsome display. Deciding that convention speeches were tiresome, he sent out a traveling troupe to stage edifying grocery skits, later changed to talking films ("Vocalpix"), now shown by all IGA jobbers to their retailers. As a result of this high-powered education, the mortality rate among IGA grocers is only one-half of that of U. S. grocers as a whole...
