Penny Railage.
Penny postage is a feature of every-day life nowadays, although for many years it remained nothing but the dream of one progressive statesman.
Penny railage is on a different footing, for it has been customary to rate railway traffic by the ton. The matter may be scaled down, however, to see how much of various kinds of commodities may be carried for a penny, and recently the four principal railway companies in Britain arranged a very effective window display on these lines.
