Not really solid gold, of course. But, in values of wartime demands upon the facilities of Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, these rails are incomparably more valuable than gold! - The job that PRSL—and other railroads of the United State*—are doing can't be rated in terms of monetary standards. During days of war, these rails are lines of supply to men whose very lives depend npon the materiel they carry. So, today, gold and dollars become mere figures of speech. It is Time and Manpower that produce the new standards of value these are the factors that make railroad •ails and can and engines make

trains of Victory and Victory is the basis of all valnos!
