STARVING PEOPLE IN EUROPE? Headline
The Empty Stocking
I Xhis Christmas we planned to fill the South's stocking
I with a $10 million gift of year-'round travel pleasure . . .
those 101 luxurious new streamlined passenger train cars
we ordered 'way bad in August, 1946.
Alas I H can't be. Santa got caught in that famous
poet-war bottleneck.
We share your disappointment, because we can hardly
wait to give our trains that "new look" with all those
ultra-modern, lightweight coaches, all-room sleeping cars,
diners, and observation, lounge and dub cars. Month after
month we've impatiently awaited their delivery. But
surely, they'll be in service long before next Christmas I
In the meantime, we've been improving our schedules
and connections, modernizing our present passenger cars,
and adding Diesel power galore . . . doing everything
possible to add to your safety, comfort and convenience
when you travel on the Southern.
And as quickly as possible we'll fill the South's stock
ing ... to the top . . . with those new passenger cars
wq ordered so long ago. So won't you please be patient?
