A Good NAME Is unquestionably a priceless asset. And. like most things of real worth, it is not gained in a hurry, but is rather the result of hard work and Infinite perseverance. The good name we have achieved for ourselves—and in whioh we take a pardonable pride—we are dally upholding by a still broader and better service. If you want the best, we want your account.

When the talk turns from politics tc railroads, and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks in with, “There’s an awful lot oi ‘water’ in the railroads,’’ here are some hard-pan facts to five him: American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile —roadbed, structures, stations, yards, terminals, freight arid passenger trains—everything from the great city terminals to the last spike. A good con Crete-and-asphalt highway costs $36,000 a mile —just a bare road, not counting the cost of culverts, bridges, etc Our railroads couldn’t be duplicated today for $150,000 a mile. They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile— much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive. English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average for all foreign countries is $103,000. Low capitalization and high operating efficiency have enabled American Railroads to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates.
