jobs of this war. Soon you'll be taking on other jobs ~building good lives for yourselves and your families. Twenty-five years ago your fathers and mothers were tackling the same task. Their hope, like yours, was to win security and a fair share of the things that make life worth while,

They looked to the railroads to deliver these good things... to carry raw materials from mines, forests and farms , . . to distribute the finished products of factories. In short, it was up to the railroads to provide the low-cost delivery’service vital to American . mass production. . : To the Illinois Central this was a grave responsi: bility. And so, 25 years ago this month, the railroad decided that its operations should be an open book + + « that the people along its lines should know the “hows” and “whys” of running a great railroad. On September 1, 1920, the Illinois Central began telling its story in local newspapers on its lines. The story appeared in the advertising columns, but it was ot Saying sell. It was, instead, an invitation 30 get acquainted «i wto know the Illinois Central its people better . . . to be friends and neighbors, * a for the common good.

The first message has been followed by 300 others; one each month for 25 years in around 500 local
