When the talk turns from politics to railroads, and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks in with, "There's an awful lot of 'water' in the railroads," here are some hard-pan facts to give him: American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile roadbed, structures, stations, yards, terminals, freight and passenger trains everything from the great city terminals o the last spike. A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs $36,000 a mile just a bare road, not counting the cost of culverts, bridges, etc. Our railroads couldn't be duplicated today for $150,000 a mile. They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile much less than their actual value. Seventy-one thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive. English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000; even in Canada (still in pioneer development) they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The average or all foreign countries is $100,000. Low capitalization and high operating efficiency have enabled American Railroads to pay the highest wages while charging the lowest rates.

Knew we'd get together" Chcs. Field HERE'S where the particular smoker meets the particular smoke Chesterfield. Particular is right! Not only do we usq the four choicest varieties of Turkish to-bacco-Xanthi, Cavalla, Smyrna and Samsoun but to these we add the rich, sun- . ripened leaves of specially choice Domestic tobacco. Fine as these tobaccos arc, it's tho exclusive process by which they are blended that gives to Chesterfields that satisfying body, that mellow richness which makes a smoke mean something. Chesterfields certainly do satisfy as no other cigarette has satisfied you before and to top it off, they are packed in a glassine paper package that preserves for you all of that delicious flavor.
