Highlands, N. C.
'Don't sends
\
a boy to do a
man's job!"
W hen there's a man-size transportation job to be
done, who gets it? That's right . . . the railroad*!
For example, during World War II, the railroads
were given the job of handling 97% of all organized
military travel, 90% of the war freight and 70% of
all freight moved in this country.
Today, another man-size transportation job is
shaping up. And once again the railroads are the only
form of transportation "man enough" to handle the
great bulk of the job ... a job too big for all other
carriers combined. * 1
A strong America must have strong railroads. That's
why it is in the public interest? your interest- to give
railroads every opportunity to be always strong . ; ,
always ready to do man-size transportation jobs. (
