Street cars and busses

At a recently held Street Railway Convention a visiting railway official remarked that judging from the character of the exhibits one might well conclude that he was in attendance at an automobile show. The manufacturers of buses and bus accessories displayed no end of industry in placing before the visiting railway officials a wide variety of their wares, while electric railway track service equipment was little in evidence. One visitor offered the view that the trolley cars were all busy hauling passengers and that the manufacturers of electric railway equipment were too busy filling orders to have time for the convention.
