What the Timetable Tells
Anything tells a story if you know how to read it. For
instance the railroad timetable says that the train that leaves
Washington at 8:00 o'clock, p. m. reaches Pinehurst at 8:00
the next morning.
But it takes that train more than 24 hours longer to get
to Palm Beach, Florida.
A man may leave Washington Saturday night, get to
Pinehurst Sunday morning, have the day at Pinehurst, go
back Sunday night, be in Washington Monday shortly after
9:00 o'clock, and never miss an hour from his work.
To go to Florida would mean to get to Palm Beach
Monday morning, and to get back to Washington Wednes
day morning if he stayed in Florida one day.
The Timetable says
Pinehurst is the Place for the Busy Man's Outing.
The Timetable is no jay.
The busy man may have his winter home at Pinehurst
and get down to see his family every week-end.
