B:Adjective But what happens if you delete the word 'stage' ? The 'Warm-up Stage' was a short lived business venture in the mining areas of Arizona in the days of the Old West. Winter time temperatures in the mining towns in the mountains would drop below freezing for months at a time. Wells-Fargo drove their stage coaches down into the lower sun drenched deserts, sealed the hot desert area inside with leather wrappings, and then with teams of ten to twenty thourough bred horses raced the stages back up into the icy mountains. Wealthy miners would pay a fortune just to climb into a "Warm-Up Stage" for a few minutes. The business failed when the Butterfield Stage lines realized it was cheaper to haul loads of miners down to the desert as expensive race horses were not needed.Unfortunatly the cheap horses they used were so slow that by the time they left the mountains, winter was over. I do not know what part of speech the Wells-Fargo Warm-up stage was, but the entire concept, in conjunction with Butterfield's, is an example of an incomplete business proposition.
