Brave letters from Mom and Dad... scrawled notes from Sis . . . envious banter from the kid brother . . . soft, sweet whispers from the girl who waits. Fan mail .. . weighted with inspiration and en couragement and love... sealed with silent, fervent prayers . .. voicing sturdy confidence in Victory and echoing a nation's swelling hymn of hope for a happier world. The men and women of the Southern Railway System know what this mail from home means to a fighting man. That's why we are so proud to handle it. That's why we keep it moving, day and night... regardless of its ever-increasing volume .. . regardless at the thousand and one difficulties a railroad faces in time of war. We know, too, that the same faith and hope and courage which today enrich the fan mail of America's fighting men, will tomorrow inspire a new and a greater Southland. That's why we're preparing today for the job well have to do when Victory has been won; the job of handling the travel and the commerce of the New South with the same impressive efficiency that is today speeding troops and war freight? and the fan mail of the nation's fighting forces. rTMCWni SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM
