Southern Railway Company contributes to the prosperity of North Carolina not only by providing a transportation service of acknowledged excellence but through large disbursements for wages, materials and taxes. Nearly 9,000 employees of the, Southern have their homes in North Carolina, and their wage earnings last year aggregated $12,000,000. Of these, 2,300 were employed in the Spencer Shop, the 1923 payroll of which was $3,500,000. We have kept our capacity as a transportation machine ahead of the demands upon it In 1923 our freight service in the State of North Carolina was 82% greater than in 1913. The Southern has spent more than $40,000,000 during the last twenty years in adding to its facilities to provide superior transportation service for North Carolina industries. Last year fifty-eight new manufacturing plants were established on Southern Railway lines in the State and ninety-two old plants were enlarged. The main line of the 'Southern through the Piedmont has been double-tracked. This work on the Washington-Atlanta line cost $52,000,000. No commonwealth in the South has received greater benefit from this improvement than North Our lines in the State represent an investment of nearly $100,000,000. Improvements in the State now under way will call for the expenditure of more than $5,000,000. The Southern that is today serving North CaroKna is a trans portation system in which North Carolina can take pride \ ? The Southern, in turn, is proud to be a builder of North Carolina prosperity. e SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH
