Santa Fei n Kansas # in 1868.

Santa Fe in Kansas s today.

Keeping up with Kansas is keeping Santa Fe on its toes! Kansas, home of the Santa Fe, is the “Bread Basket of the World” and one of the nation’s important “Arsenals of Democracy.” The state . is now an industrial as well as an agricultural empire. With unprecedented wartime production of both food and arms this great state is constantly increasing its demands on Santa Fe trans‘portation. This is natural, for Santa Fe “grew up” in Kansas from 17 miles of track in 1868 to 13,093 miles of track that stretch from Chicago

to California and from Denver to the Texas Gulf. _ To help handle the state’s wartime shipments, Santa Fe has enlarged, improved, and modernized equipment and methods in Kansas —a wartime improvement that will still pay dividends in the days of peace to come. ~~ *

Is your car one of the thousands that are “acting up” this winter? Then it’s giving you warning. Winter is a car punisher. Wintertime is sludge time. . ; it’s weak-battery time. It's time for better car care. Your Standard Oil Dealer has had special training in keeping today’s older cars running right, running longer, yes, running farther on every gallon of gasoline. Drop in on-him frequently and have him give your car these life-giving services as required:

Incidentally, Santa Fe is the largest tax payer in Kansas. In normal times, Santa Fe is the’ state’s greatest employer of labor. Santa Fe operates more mileage in Kansas than any other railroad.
