Fares lowest ■ n history—substantial sav ings on round trip tickets. So why not take the train? It’s safer. It’s more dependable. You cant beat the im proved travel comfort in coaches and sleeping cars. It’s a good thing movies don’t have such restful seats — most folks would sure fall asleep. Ever hear about the Free pick- up-and-delivery of less than carload freight? It’s a great convenience to shippers and receivers alike. Western rail roads pick up at the door, ship by fast freight, and de liver to consignee’s door. Railroad trains are running on faster schedules these days. Seems like the iron horse wants to show these new streamlined diesels that he can step out, too. Both passenger and freight schedules have been speeded up. What’s more, the railroads believe in “safety first."

Precautionary applications are given at the end of the year and again a year later. Thereafter there is no recurrence of the trouble.
