An interurban Line.

Palestine's got it. More than that, it is a local concern, and not a corporation line. Window Man Gus Sawyers of the Watson, Durham & Hodges house has fitted up a diminutive toy engine, built a track around throung one of the big show windows, fired up the engine by electricity, and has her running to beat the band. It is especially arranged to advertise the Carhart overalls. It is a clever window display, and Sawyers is wearing the smile that won't come off.
