The
4th Car: Originally 36-seat Pullman parlor car NORWICH (built to Pullman plan 2916B and assigned to the NYNH&H), the car got its name from Rexall's strict policy of testing its products for efficacy and safety. Image: John Sgnor collection, via David Perata |

The exhibit car contained a large 1/2 inch scale model of the company's Boston research department. The model was correct down to the smallest detail -- every desk, every typewriter, every chair, every laboratory bench, and each of over 3000 reagent bottles was faithfully reproduced by the model makers. The painting of Mr. Liggett over the fireplace in the conference room was replicated - in miniature - in full color. The model was very popular with visitors. |
