A Trick That Failed On A Berlin Night Watchman
A German hotel tale tells of a watchman who overreached by rigging a button system to report at hours, then adopted a pedometer to log his steps. The device recorded a night’s work as 212 miles, for the man was found asleep in the engine room with the pedometer attached to the piston rod. Hood's Sarsaparilla ads promote blood purification while Union Pacific advertises fast eastbound service from Winnemucca to Chicago.
