The Bank of Franklin Member F. D. I. C. JLhirty good years, Mother" That star represents twenty-five years of service, the bar an other five . . . altogether, thirty years that Jim has been working on the Southern Railway System. "Thirty good years," Jim says. Because in the years since 1915 he has seen his Southland lay the foundations for a rich, full, abundant economy. He has seen agriculture, industry, mining and commerce team up with his own Southern Railway System to get things done. Ana when war came, ne was part ot the Southern team that broke all records in moving men and materials swiftly and surely on their way to the fighting fronts. Jim's proud of his thirty years. So are we. But Jim knows that even greater accomplishments are still to come. And we share his faith in a great future for the postwar South ... for we know that the next thirty years will be good years, too. President SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM
