Dining Car Musings on Ice Cream and Hotel Life
A narrator in 1891 writes from a dining car about handling stock and cash, the quirks of ice cream artistry, and the busy, sometimes chaotic life of hotel and railroad dining service. He compares dining car ethics, Jay Gould’s agents, and a Dallas joke about Drexel Morgan Co, concluding with reflections on freedom and misperceived banking.
