and make a wish !
This is not Aladdin's lamp. It's just an ordinary
railroad lantern. And yet . . .
Tonight, railroaders will swing lanterns like this
all along the 8.000 -mile Southern Railway System.
And at their signals, long freight trains will start
moving, roll out of yards and across the miles.
Loaded into the cars will be vast quantities of
things to fulfill the wishes of folks in the South.
There will be building materials, food, coal, clothing,
machinery ... all kinds of supplies and equipment
for farms, factories, stores and homes.
Yes, a wave of the lantern at night . . .or hand and
flag signals in daytime . , . sets in motion the magic
of mass transportation . . .the dependable, economical,
all-weather transportation service of the Southern
Railway System. And that isn't all , . .
The Southern also "Serves the South"... and helps
it to grow and prosper ... by giving jobs to 50,000
Southerners ... by paying taxes that help support
police and fire departments, schools and other public
services . . . and by purchasing the products of
Southern mines, forests, factories and farms.
That's why we say "make a wish" ? and if you
wish for an even better and greater Southland, you'll
find that the Southern Railway System is working
with you . . . helping to make your wish come true.
President
