places the New York Central and
Lake Shore railroad systems under
one management. both having the
same president. vice president and
treasurer. and il is believed To be on
Iy question of time when some of
the other general departments will
be united. Mr.. Brown has been with
the Lake Shore only about nine
months. but in that short time great
ly augmented the excellent reputa-
ton he gained while he was general
manager of the Burlington. The
Lake Shores physical condition has
not only been greatly improved dur
ing his short service. but it has been
almost entirely free from accidents"
\ little less than a year ago. Mr..
Brown. then. manager of the Burling-
ton, was the special guest of the peo-
pie of Rock Island. who had taken
the occasion of the completion of
the Burlington's new station here as
personal esteem for Mr.. Brown. as
well as to express their appreciation
of the Improvement the company had
made here. \ banquet was given in
honor of the chief officers of the
Burlington, at the Harper, il will be
recalled, at which Mr.. Brown was
made the main figure. and i'm a fitting
manner the people bore testimony to
their kindly feelings for him.
Nir. Browns earliest railroad assoc
Citations were with Rock Island. AS
superintendent of the Rock Island
and St. Louis division of the C., Il. d
Q. he did his first important railroad
work. His positions prior to that
were of minor nature. His friends
i'm Rock Island have with pride and
pleasure watched him climb since,
first to the position of superintend-
ent of the Burlington's Iowa lines,
then to become general manager of
the Hannibal & st. Joe, jumping
over the heads of men many years his
senior in railroad experience as wei
as age, and finally his advancement
to- the office of general manager of
the Burlington system proper. Early
last summer he was elected vice pres
ident and general manager of the
Lake Shore q Michigan Southern
and now he goes to one of the high
est officers in the greatest railroad
system in the country.
The Burlington i'm the old days of
it's original control produced some
of the brightest and best railroad
men in the country, but none of them,
not excepting Tom Potter, rose to
the plain at which w. c. Brown finds
himself in the prime of his busy,
useful life.
