7:30
Another guest wires the office that he would like a copy of the _ Congressional Record _ . The message is filed away automatically , and the thrilling conversation goes on . Then No. 7-5/8 asks to have his mail sent up . No. 25 wants to know what time the ` bus leaves the house for the train going East , and whether that train will connect at Alliance , Ohio , with a tide-water train for Cleveland in time to catch the Lake Shore train which will bring him into New York at 7:30 , and whether all those trains are reported on time or not , and if not will the office kindly state why ? Other guests also manifest morbid curiosity through their transmitters , but the clerk does not get excited , for he knows that all these remarks are filed away in the large black walnut box at the back of the office . When he gets ready , provided he has been through a course of study in this brand of business , he takes one room at a time , and addressing a pale young `` Banister Polisher '' by the name of `` Front , '' he begins to scatter to their destinations , baggage , towels , morning papers , time-tables , etc. , all over the house . It is also supposed to be a great time-saver .
