An exhibit of items used in Pullman sleeping cars is the newest exhibit at The Depot. Included in the exhibit is a sink from a Pullman sleeping compartment. The sink was donated by Robert Boggs of Salem and had belonged to his father, the late Bob Boggs.

Contained in one of the new seven-foot display cases, the exhibit has, in addition to the sink, Pullman hand towels, blankets, sheets, sings, a silver Pullman thermos bottle, tickets and other articles which were donated by Cecil and Martha Smith of Salem.

The exhibit should be finished in time for The Depot's anniversary open house June 12 and 13.

The sink and three of the famous blue-stripe Pullman hand towels are shown above.
