Note 1 — II PURPOSES AND ADVANTAGES OF TRAVELING CAMPAIGNS
Reading edition
The following records of tours may prove at least suggestive: A three-car train, which traveled through Pennsylvania for five months in 1918, had running expenses of approximately $325 a week. This included traveling, living expenses, and salaries of three staff members, the initial cost of exhibits and printed matter, and repairs. It did not include the salaries of three additional demonstrators, or the initial cost of rebuilding the interiors of the cars, or any expenses for hauling of the cars.
A motion picture tour with an automobile truck, traveled for twenty-eight weeks in 1917 in Maryland at an expense of $124 a week. This included the fuel and repairs for the car, expenses of the field staff, rentals of films, and various miscellaneous expenses connected with the operation of the tour.
