Union Pacific to Talk to Patrons Through Newspaper Advertisements The Union Pacific realizes that the good-will of its patrons is its greatest asset. It also believes that a successful railway is the greatest asset of any region or community which it serves. The Union Pacific wants its patrons to feel that the railway is intimately interested in their wel fare, and that the road is built, equipped and operated especially to serve their transportation needs. The railway, like any other business has its problems, some of which are not always thorough ly understood by the public. For that rtason, the Union Pacific will present certain of these prob lems from time to time, and endeavor to explain them, using only such statistics as are readily understood. Some of the topics suggested are: The Misunderstood Railroad Earning Guaranty. New Eqipment and Capital Improvements for ' the Union Pacific. , What the Union Pacific Pays in Taxes. The Railroad and the Farm. Preventing Accidents at Grade Crossings. Who Owns the Union Pacific? Expediting the Movement of Freight Cars. The Facts About Freight Rates. Where the Union Pacific Dollar Goes. Railroads Safe to Ride On, Unsafe to Walk On It is planned to publish one of these short talks in the form of an advertisement about the first of each month in Newspapers along the Union Pacific lines. It is hoped that this method will tend to clarify some of the misconceptions about railway operation, and that it will serve to inform the public of the costructive things the Union is doing. Constructive suggestions will be welcomed. C. R. GRAY, - - President. Fryman-Howell A pretty wedding occured at the United Brethern parsonage on Tuesday, May 8, at 9 a. m-, when Rev. E. F.
