words of an address delivered before
the international Commercial congress,
recently held in Philadelphia, by
George H. Daniels, General Passenger
Agent of the New York Central a Hud-
son River railroad, and president Of the
American Association of General Pas
senger Agents.

The demand for American locomO-
tivcs from all parts of the world Mr..
Daniels attributed. in the first place,
to the superior quality of our ma
chinery. and, in the second. to the fact
that the general passenger agents of
the American RAILWAYS have. through
their advertising. made the marvellous
results accomplished by our Iocomo-
tiyes household words in every country
on the globe.
