A rare trade catalogue demonstrating the virtues of Miller's products, designed "to render railroad travel safe and comfortable." Says Miller, "I have not yet heard of the first case of breaking or failure of the Miller Platforms, Buffers, &c., and that no one has been able to find a defect in or improve them." Testimonials are printed from the Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana, the CB&Q, and others.
OCLC records several printings from other years, and one from 1869.
