I just realized that Timken has not advertised in Trains in a bit as I start 1960 issues. I guess the market for their roller bearings has matured to the point it is not worth the ad cost. AAR is still buying a full page ad in every issue of Trains. I think that has been the case since issue #3 in January 1941. The first two issues had hardly no ads except Kalmbach ads, if that counts, and a few other small ads.
I think AAR stopped buying ads in the magazine in Nobember 1960.

FOR SALE: Pullman-Standard has reluctantly
placed on the block its passenger car plant at
Worcester, Mass. Built by Osgood Bradley in
1910 and absorbed by PS in 1930, the plant--
covering 52 acres with 600,000 square feet under
roof turned out streetcars and trackless trol-
leys as well as railroad passenger equipment.
Its last car was built in December 1958 and PS
says no new orders are in sight from Eastern
roads.
