Illinois Central System Alive to Importance of Adequate Railway Service No phase of the railway business is more important to tho public than that of adequate service. Business cannot he carried on freely, labor cannot be kept fully employed at c or, ’i waues in its various occupations, the country cannot prosper without pood railway service. Whenever the demand for transportation is greater than tho supply, this fact stands out. To provide adequate service a railroad must raise and spend great sums of money regularly for new equipment, and other facilities. Tt must also have at all times an efficient organization of employes who are eager to serve the public. Both in the matter of modern equipment and in having an efficient organization of employes to serve the public, the Illinois Central System was never in so good condition as now. Although the Illinois Central System has been a liberal purchaser of new equipment every year for a number of years past, il lias placed orders during the last tliirty days for additional new equipment costing ’>1,7870, as follows: 2,000 -10-Ton Composite Box Cars $ 4,460,000 4.000 bO-Tun Composite tiondola Cars..... 8,112.0(10 200 Steel Underframe Stock Cars 401.000 200 Express Refrigerator Cars 917,600 2"> Mountain Type Locomotives ....... 1,691,157-3 3 Steel Earlor Cars 114,000 30 Steel Coaches 786.750 8 Steel Compartment Coaches 220.800 6 Steel ('hair Cars 170.604 9 Steel Baggage Cars 170.001 10 Steel Baggage-Mail Cars 221.740 215 Steel Suburban Cars Equipped for Operation by Electricity 8.250.000 Total .$2*5,515,870 We are now in another period of heavy traffic on the railroads, all previous records on car loadings having recently been broken. In such a period as this our patrons are finding the Illinois Central System strengthened in every way and capable of carrying by far the greatest load in its entire history. The achievements of the Illinois Centra! System in this regard have been made possible by the favorable position in earnings so consistently enjoyed by this, carrier. The Illinois Central System has an unbroken dividend record dating back to 1860. For that reason it enjoys the confidence of investors and has always been able to raise the money for additions and betterments whenever such inpney was needed. Only the railroad that is making money is the railroad that can afford to keep its plant up to a standard well in advance of the needs of its patrons. We recognize that our task is to serve our patrons efficiently, and we are leaving no stone unturned to accomplish that end. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. n. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System
