[CAMP CARS]
Interior of one of our Camp Cars. (The "Cookies" Domain)
For several years the necessity of providing economical, sanitary and convenient commissary and living accommodations for the employes of Lumber Camps has induced us to investigate fully the best equipment now in use for that purpose and has enabled us to design equipment of Portable Camp Trains to meet the requirements of individual operators.
Detail Showing Seating Capacity of Camp Diner
These Portable Camps are being introduced and installed in nearly all large lumbering and railroad operations as they not only prevent many serious losses heretofore sustained by the destruction by fire of camp outfits but at the same time make it possible to keep the workmen's headquarters close to the work, thereby greatly increasing their physical efficiency.
