Street Cars Supplying Cigarettes.

An experiment for the convenience of passengers is in preparation by the North Metropolitan Tramway Company of London. Their cars are to be fitted With automatic machines for the supply of cigarettes—two ordinary ones for a penny, or one of superior quality for the same coin. This, of course, is for the convenience of outside passengers only, for, as heretofore, the Interior of the vehicle is strictly reserved for nonsmokers. One of the cars has been fitted with its automatic machine at the company’s works, Leytonshire, and should the experiment prove successful others will be similarly supplied. -
