Here's a 1946 pioneer among railroad men ... a man who works, not with trains, but trees your trees, if you own timber land in Illinois Central territory. He is an Illinois Central forester ... a tree farmerwho knows how to make the most of today s timber and how to grow fresh tree crops for the future. His job is to help conserve and expand the Southern forests which today supply nearly half of the nation's lumber, including pulpwood for paper, rayon, phonograph records, movie him and 9,000 other items. The work of our foresters is another part of the Illinois Central's program to broaden the service of the railroad to the people along its lines. The Illinois Central intends to earn your continued patronage and friendship. W. A. JOHNSTON .. President,
