Mr. Leonard became associated with the Packard-Bell Company in 1944, after many years of ex perience in wholesale and retail merchandising. Oregon was his home before he came to Califor nia eight years ago, so he knows his territory well and is taking over distributorship activit i e s there immediately. ------------o ---- - Window glas», paint, oil, and turpentine at Marshall-Well», on the Plaza, Phone 2-1231. “Your Friendly Grocer” Always a Good Supply of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Where Your Trade is Appreciated PLAZA GROCERY adofyoa odio helped When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Southern Pacific became perhaps the moat strategic railroad in the United States. Serving the West Coast porta of embarkation from San Diego to Portland, and more military ■mt naval establishments than any other railroad, we were called upon to handle an enormous load. We were able to handle this load successfully because of the great work of railroad men and women up and down tha line, and with the help and cooperation of thousands of people not actually working for tha railroad. Now the war is over. The job is done. Bnt we of Southern Pacific will never forget the way people stood by us when the task somstimss seemed bigger than our railroad. We send our sincere thanks— _ to ilw Am r), Navy and Government authorities for their sympathetic understanding of our problems. ---- to the shippers who cheerfully pu t up with delays so that more vital soar freight could go through on time, and who cooperated in many ways to conserve equipment. ---- to our passengers, for their good-natured acceptance of crowded trains and other wartim e discomforts. to the thousands of people who stayed off the trains to make room for service men and other essential travelers. • ---- to the press and radio which understood our operating difficulties and kept the public informed. We do not know how quickly Southern Pacific can convert from war to peace. Soon transports will be landing thousands of war-weary men at Weet Coast ports, and many more must be brought back from Europe. These men will want to get home ns quickly as possible. We intend to do our best to carry them in the comfort to which they are entitled. This job comes first of course. ’ Meanwhile, we are planning luxurious new streamlined trains, new travel comforts and refinements in passenger service, and improvements in freight service. We intend to go forward aggressively with the West, earning our r «ht to serve you solely on merit and performance. S ’P A. T. MERCIER, President The friendly Southern Pacific £ II» » I
