New On Our Shopper's Special List
HERE are three new additions to the list of pocket-sized articles bearing
the Milwaukee Road's trademark which bargain minded shoppers may
purchase through our company's advertising department. Each item has
been tested for quality, and the price is right-just about cost.
Notice that the plastic rainhoods modeled by Mary Ann Rathbun of
our Chicago-Union Station typing bureau (left) and Barbara Ann Sandstrom,
secretary to communications engineer, stay in place without a single
tie! The secret lies in two button-type snaps adjustable to head sizes. It
comes in the case demonstrated by Lenore Pedziwiatr, tax department
stenographer, which doubles as a change purse, and has a chain attachment
that can be used as a key ring. The case is black with a gold colored
trademark; the price, 25 cents.
Held by Mary Ann is a 6-foot retractable pocket rule, all-steel enclosed
in a chrome steel case. This useful household article, red with the trademark
imprinted in white, is an unusual value for $1.10.
Anyone who likes French fragrances will find it hard to resist the pursesize
vial of lanvin's "My Sin" extract demonstrated here by Barbara Ann.
The price, only 35 cents, includes the plastic hinge-top trinket box, black
with a gold emblem.
To buy these articles, write to our advertising agent, C. N. Rank, at
Room 824 Union Station, Chicago 6, Ill., enclosing your check payable to
The Milwaukee Road.

fellow passengers on the Afternoon
Hiawatha with this bit of clowning while
traveling recently from Chicago to Milwaukee.
A makebelieve wooly crawler attached
to her sweater served as a prop for this
demonstration of the famous eye-rolling
expression. The notion's top nightclub comedienne
was en route to on engagement
