interchangeable Mileage Credit
System a Success.
Rock Island Officials Pleased
With Its Workings.
AN ECONOMICAL PLAN.
Passengers Receive Rebates at
End of Year.
Railroad News of a General and
Local Nature.

The interchangeable mileage credit
system, which was put into use on the
Rock Island road a few weeks ago, is
proving itself a good investment for the
road as well as becoming very popular
With the travelling public. Reports re-
Ceived at the passenger department OF
the Rock Island, covering the first 10
days of its operation, go to prove this
form of interchangeable mileage a sue
cess, the great number OF credentials
sold showing the appreciation OF the
patrons of the road.
There are several reasons for the pop
ularity of the system, but chief among
them in the fact that it offers a chance
to the traveller to get a credit on I he
money which he spends for his ticket,
which would ordinarily give no returns
other than being good for passage. An
other good feature, and a convincing
argument for travellers to use this form
of mileage, is that no money must be
invested to secure this credit rebate,
over and above the cost of a regular
ticket to the point of the travellers
destination. In other forms of inter
changeable mileage, it is necessary to
invest several dollars in order to take
advantage of any rebate offered.
The workings of the interchangea bile
mileage credit system are very simple.
The traveller purchases a credential,
costing one dollar, at any station on
the Rock Island road. This credential
is really an identification card, num-
bered and giving purchasers name and
address. This credential must be
shows whenever the purchaser procures
a ticket. The agent of whom the ticket
is procured gives the holder of the Gre
Dental a receipt for the number of
miles represented by the ticket pur-
chased. The holder of these credit slips
keeps them and at the close of the
year, sends them to an agent of the
road, and a rebate is returned.
The Rock Island officials feel proud
of the first Is days sales of this form of
interchangeable mileage. Several let
tiers have been received from CONNER
cial travellers. complimenting the road
for having this form of mileage in use.
One letter says in part; Il consider the
interchangeable mileage credit system
which you have in operation on your
road, the best yet introduced. It is very
simple in its operation and two of its
good features are, that no money has to
be invested in advance, and it is Just
the same as finding the money which
is given back to the traveller in re-
