Railway mechanical engineer . the man-agement devised the novel scheme of fitting up a storagebattery truck as a traveling exhibit, upon it a collection offood wasted including bread, butter, meat, cakes, crackers,pickles, cheese, fruits, etc., as well as a quantity of manu-facturing materials such as copper, zinc, lead, mica, rubber,felt, gum and similar materials much of which could be usedto advantage. It is estimated that the food stuffs wasted per da)- wouldamount to between $35 and S50, the cost of which, of course,comes out of the employees pockets; the waste of materialamounting to hundreds of dollars per day, which would l)e aloss to the compam if it were not that a force of men arecontinually assorting the seemingly scrap material and turn-ing it back for use or so that the highest price may be obtainedfor scrap produce, all due largely to the thoughtlessness andcarelessness of the emplo\-ees. .\bove the material is constructed a sign, reading in largeletters: Wasted and underneath the words Food brought. A Waste Exhibit to Excite Thrift from your homes, and on the other side Materials be-longing to the company. This truck was driven up and down the shop aisles sothat the employees could look upon it and form in theirminds some idea of the waste. Such an object lesson isvaluable at this time when everyone should take all the pre-cautions necessary to cause anywhere as little waste as isabsolutely possible.
