Mr and Mrs Patrick Coyle and family Mr and Mrs John Coyle Mr and Mrs Maurice Griffin Models for Passenger Carrying The now chair cars recently placed in service by the Burlington railroads are models for passenger carrying They are built along the lines of Pullman con struction with floors made of angle iron girders and steel frame bracing They are heavy weighing as much as the average Pullmans fifty three and one half tons They are seventy six feet in length nnd are carried on a double truck such as is used under ordinary coaches They are vestibuled after the Pullman idea and are finished in the regulation Burlington pattern They have seats for eighty passengers are well lighted and are comfortable riding The con struction is of the best It is cheaper to operate such cars because of the greater carrying capacity but they weight down a train heavily These cars are in service on all Burlingtpn through trains Cash Sugar Beet Premiums On October 31st I will give cash prem iums at my
