PAPER CUPS COST 1 CENT.

That's Why an Innovation at the
Depot Wasn't Patronized.

Paper drinking cup vending machines were installed at the Union depot yesterday afternoon and attracted much attention, but did not get much play.

The patrons of the depot looked at the machines and when they discovered that it took a penny to get a paper cup, but that they could use one of the granite ware cups tied to a chain for nothing and get the same grade of ice water, they did not hesitate.

A number of paper cups were purchased as souvenirs.
