A limited supply of new Pack­
ard-Bell radios will be in the
dealer stores by October, was the
forecast today of Gordon Leon­
ard, recently appointed Packard-
Bell distributor for Ashland.
“I have been advised by the
Company,” he said, “that produc
tion of civilian radios will start
in September.” “This will put
radios in limited quantities in the
dealer stores during October, and
by November and December the
supply will be fairly substantial,”
hecontinued.
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.

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.

A. T. MERCIER, President
The friendly Southern Pacific
