1 AISO SERVJ
UnION PACIFIC Is doing its share to meet
the nation's vital need for dependable transportation.
It's a Job we're proud to do. Over "the strategic
middle route" connecting East with West, our gigan
tic locomotives are hauling not only war materials
but also thousands of Uncle Sam's men in uniform.
Thus, it is apparent that travelers may not always
find it possible to obtain their preferred accommoda
tions. Perhaps only coach seats or upper berths will
be available. To Union Pacific patrons, whom we
have had the pleasure of serving and will continue to
serve to the best of our ability, we would like to say
"he who steps up also serves" and express our
thanks for their cooperation.
For information concerning passenger and freight transpor
tation, consult local representative, phone 132, Heppner.
