MORE PAY. Personal income increased at a
greater rate in the Southeast than anywhere
else in the nation, says a Department of Com
merce survey covering 1958-67. The rate of
gain for the Southeast was 63% compared to
52.7% for the nation as a whole. Southern

paying off so handsomely in more and better
paying jobs.

of truth. Southern Railway does serve the
South efficiently, with a 10,200-mile-long

system of "arteries” that is helping the
South thrive as never before!
