(erielack) Stillwell Car comment

[Michael Connor <mjconnor_rr_@_hotmail.com>]

Given the recent discussion of Stillwell cars in this list,  I noted the following in The Prattsburgh (NY) News of April 5th, 1917--looks like the Erie was sending some press releases on its new equipment to small town newspapers on line (and, in Prattsburgh's case, on a feeder line).MJC 

1917 Apr 5 Prattsburgh News p. 2 – The Erie
Railroad Company has received from the  Pressed
Steel Car Company six additional coaches and one baggage car to be used in through passenger service
between New York and Chicago on two trains,
Nos. 3 and 4.  The chief elements in the
development of these new           coaches
are safety  and comfort to passengers,
low cost of operation, maintenance
and moderate first cost.  One of the
safety features of the car                   bodies is the Stillwell anti-telescoping
bulkhead construction at the ends.
