Advertising Boosts Simmons Beds Sales in Record Period
Z. G. Simmons, president of the Simmons Company, reports that an aggressive advertising campaign coupled with new bed lines and a resale price policy drove a sharp rise in demand. For the week ending August 31, incoming business exceeded shipments by 250000 dollars, while the firm delivered its largest weekly volume of the year. The unfilled order book reached a peak not seen since 1920, with orders strong into September and expectations of a record 1926. The campaign also included forecasting conditions and double shifts to meet demand.

Locomotives Run Nonstop on Pennsylvania Rails
Pittsburgh reports the Pennsylvania Railroad now runs 32 fast passenger trains between New York and Pittsburgh without locomotive changes. The test expanded to routes including Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and Chicago, with heavier engines boosting speed on level and mountain grades. The shift aims to extend nonchange service to 82 trains between Pittsburgh and East. The note adds a historical aside: the first U.S. postage stamps appeared in 1849.
