An electric trolley wagon uses a double trolley arrangement with two wires spaced eighteen inches apart and seventeen feet high. A two horsepower motor on the wagon drives the rear axle while insulated pantographs allow unequal wire tension. Cables run from the trolleys to an automatic reel on the wagon, giving the vehicle freedom to maneuver around poles and follow road twists, suggesting potential as a farm transport and possible railway competitor.
A Rambler column suggests clothing color reveals regional origins in England. Fawn cloth dominates Lincolnshire and southern counties favor navy blue while north Wales leans yellow light attire and southern areas favor dark browns.

An odd advertisement promises a universal cure for skin diseases including misghating skit disease and ringworm. It claims Cure ipso will stay cured for 50 cents a box, available at drug stores or via mail from JT Shuptrine in Savannah Georgia, also noting Frenchmen use tobacco in a dubious context.

An advertisement claims Taber's Pepsin Compound cures indigestion and stomach troubles with a free sample bottle from Dr Taber Mfg Co Savannah Ga.
