- Sleeping cars are swell places for making dreams come true. Once, a lad went to bed in a train while mountains and forests glided by outside, and when he awoke and raised the shade, there, looming like fairyland in the dawn mist, was the fabulous sky line of New York City! Another time, a youthful traveler dozed off as a snowstorm swirled outside, and when he raised his shade, oh, boy!—coconut palms and flaming poinsettias and people sunburning in the nice hot heat of Florida! Now, on the cover, we clickety-click into the wide-open spaces while a youngster’s cowboy dream comes true like magic. (By the way, if you want to know about the oldster who painted him, how’s for turning to the more wide-open spaces of page 10?)
