THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13th, 1936 $2.00 a year in advance; $2.50 to U. S. A. THE REXALL TRAIN COMING TO COLBORNE Representing full confidence of the United Drug Co., of Boston, in <good ftusinass prospects for the next 12 months, the Rexall Convention Train drawn by its 350-ton streamlined engine will come to this section within the next few days for meetings of Rexall agents and to be inspected by the public. The Rexall Train, which is embarked on a 29,000-mile tour of the United States and Canada, has aroused unflagging interest throughout its journey. Wherever it has stopped, crowds have flocked to view the 12-car train's exhibition cars and the powerful locomotive giant which ifc hauling this mammoth load through every State in the Union and Canada. Based on attendance of more than 800,000 people in the first three and one-half months of the tour, it can be safely assumed that 2,000,000 people will inspect the train during its 8-months Travelling across the country as a harbinger of returning business prosperity, the glistening royal blue and white Rexall Train serves a two-fold purpose. Through this magnificently equipped train, he United Drug Co., is bringing its annual conventions to the 10.000 Rexall agents instead of asking the agents to travel long dis* tances to its conventions. Also during the convention stop-overs the beautifully designed and appointed exhibition cars are open and the public is invited to inspect their attractive displays. Vying with the exhibition cars in the public's interest, is the powerful automotive giant which hauls the 12-car Rexall Train throughout its journey. Streamlined according to the latest researches of aero-dynamic science, this 350-ton engine attracts widespread attention. It is an oil-burning, steam type locomotive specially built by the New York Central Railroad to cover the 20,000-mile journey without relief locomotivtes, an unprecedented idea in railroading history, especially since it must travel on 52 different railroads in all sections of the country to complete its demanding task. Gatherings of the druggists will he held on the train in 109 cities on 29.000-mile good-will tour, and at 81 other cities to be visited the public will T>e ad-stltted to the train, Free admission tickets may be obtained at any of the 10.000 Rexall drug stores. Louis K. Liggett, President of the United Drug Co., has explained the purpose of the tour as a series of "old-fashioned New Yeax's calls." "We are carrying the crew to show how to do business but we are not asking for business. The depression is over and confidence, the basic factor of recovery, is here." Mr. Liggett said. To accomplish its good-will mission the train, for the first time in the history of railroading, embodies all the equipment, quarters for personnel and entertaining facilities that would be found at a convention in a large hotel. Each of the twelve Pullman cars bears a name prominent in all Rexall drug stores, and familiar to hundreds of thousands of users of Rexall pro- The first car, "Kantleek," carries the dynamos for indirect lighting system and air-conditioning, and has compartments for baggage and equipment. The second car, "Firetaid." is the service sleeper. Then! follow four exhibit cars: "Ad-Vantages," in which a model drug store, the first on wheels; "Research," carrying exhibits in research and technology, minatures of the United Drug Co. plants and of the new laboratory in Boston, advertising and sales promotion projects, and displays on the handling of special sales; "Bisma Rex," displaying machines, pharmaceuticals, and rubber and hospital supplies; "Cara Nome." featuring toilet goods, stationery, sundries, brushes, candy and pure Next, the seventh of the caravan, is "Klenzo." or lecture car number one. followed by "Adrienne," or lecture car numiber two. The two lecture cars will seat more than 250 at convention sessions, and along with the lounge car will be cleared for those attending the conventions to dance in at night to music by the train's own orchestra. Then come the buffet-dinner, "Symphony" and the lounge car "Mi-31," where conferences will be held. Compartments and ofifces for the Unted Drug Co. official personnel are in the eleventh car, "Joan Manning." Last comes the President's car, "Puretes't.'" with living accommoda-tons for Louis K. Liggett, president and founder of the United Drug Co. and other company executives. It is equipped with a radio set and two loudspeakers. From the blunt-nosed oil-burning loi nmotive to the observation platform of the last car, the modern train is emblazoned in the Rexall colors of royal blue and white. Sharply dividing the richly Iwed sides of the engines and cars, a broad white stripe runs the entire length of the train. Each side of the engine bears the name. "The Rexall Train" in blue letters on white stride. The name of the owner of the locomotive, the "New York Central," from whom the train was leased, is lettered in white on the blue background on eaci of the tender. An illuminated end sign beairs the identification "The Rexall Train" in blue letters mortar and pestle. Since the train m of 52 railroads in all sections of the country, it is powered by a 350-ton locomotive of the oil-burning steam type, which "is familiar to all railroad men. The distance of 29 000 miles without relief locomotives Is unprecedented in the history of railroading. Because of the "beating" it must take, and because it must meet the special problems of grades, curves and weather on the rails of all sections of the United States and Southern Canada, the engine was selected not to shatter speed records, but to "pull through." Due to thlLvarying conditions to be met, the^ engine crews must be changed as each new railroad's territory is reached!"' An engineer familiar with the signals, the grades and curves, the crossings, the rules of Ms own road, must pilot the train on schedule. Assisting eaoh engineer to meet this pew and stren nous test of raf^poading, will be a travelling engine' foreman from the New York Central. Tests, inspection, maintenance and repairs, possible overhauling, and refueling of the train will be under his supervision. Every practical feature of modern streamlining has been incorporated in the engine. To permit quick access to the driving mechanism for rolling and inspection, the driving and trailing wheels have been left partly uncovered. Clearances and capacities of the bridges on every mile of the route be checked before the train could make the trip. The engine weighs 697,000 pounds, or about 350 tons, and is more than 97 feet long and 15 feet high. The tender is 52 feet long with a capacity of 5,000 gallons of oil. • To keep the streamline effect throughout the train, a new rubber diaphram was developed to connect the cars. As a result of these ' hrngesj," the train can round the sharpest curves without losing the symmetry of its lines, the new device giving it "snake hips," so to speak. Wind-scoops, or "smoke deflectors," among the newest of streamlined train developments, lift the smoke high above tire locomotive when it Is in motion. These wind scoops are tubular recesses at the front of the engine behind the ladders leading to the catwalks, and around the hidden smokestack. Among the unusual arrangements are special telephones and a teletypewriter. In Mr. Liggett's private car is one telephone permanently connected and there is a portable set which may be connected at any of three outlets. At each of the 109 convention stops local telephone officials will arrange necessary cables and connections direct to track-side for both services. The teletypewriter is in the club car, for use in sending out routine and miscellaneous information concerning train schedule and arrangements along the route direct to the United Drug Co. office at Boston. A record in feeding conventions will be established as the 10,000 agents and their special guests are served luncheon and supper in buffet style. Service is from a horseshoe table extending the length of the diner, attended by a steward and three waiters. In the kitchen are a chef, a first cook and a second cook. The train carries B0 persons in all. including United Drug Co. executives, its four-man orchestra, porters, kitchen personnel, two elec trical engineers and demonstrates. This train leaves Toronto at 6.30 p.m., on the Canadian National Railway. Sunday evening, August 16th. and is expected at Colborne about 8.30 p.m. standard time. Middle School Exams.
