English: "New Hollywood Cars In Service Ti first shipment of Hollywood cars was placed in service early last month and from ail reports are meeting with the entire approval and satisfaction of our Hollywood patrons. Fifty of these cars were ordered, representing an investment of $900,000. They are being delivered at the rate of five weekly and fitted for service immediately. This equipment was designed practically in its entirety by officials of this Company and in many ways is a departure from standard styles of other electric railways, Among the prominent features of the new cars are: Seating capacity 65 passengers, as against 40 to 44 in present cars. Length, 52 feet 7 inches, approximately 12 feet longer than cars now in service. The aisles are 36 inches wide, making for comfort of patrons during peak hour travel. Center and end exits, together with but two steps to floor level of car, facilitate greatly the loading and un- loading of passengers. Improved automatic dOor-opening mechanism. That our new cars have created widespread interest is evidenced by the fact that many electric railway executives requested that one of the cars be placed on exhibition at the American Electric Railway Association’s convention at Chicago. Mr. Pontius approved the request and one car was shipped to Chicago in advance of the Opening date of the Convention."
