GREAT DINING CAR COOK.
Boston Van Winkle is the oldest dining car cook, in point of service, on the Erie Railroad, having been with the Pullman Co. prior to the Erie taking over the dining cars.

He does not claim any relationship with "Old Rip" because Boston has not been asleep, being a very steady, consistent worker; a heavy rush, or light business, is all the same to him, and he never loses his head. It is due to his having "broken in" so many "third" and "second" cooks, that has given him the name, the "Father of Cooks."

Boston is a real old standby in the dining car department and a general favorite among the boys that serve the edibles on the immaculate linen-covered tables, on which the mirror-like cutlery greets the eye and tempts the appetite. And, my goodness, how that Boston person can juggle with the tid-bits of the big city markets.
