Railrad Prosperity,

1t is a good sign that the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company is going to sell more than $50,
100000 of bonds for improvements.
The new money will go into further equipment
into rails and into bridge and station construction
wherever dollar is needed it Will be furnished
Of the new equipment fully S1O000O00 will go for
new freight and passenger Additional loco
motives will take perhaps between 100000 and
IS 100000 more.
When the railroads engage III such work it is
not only sign of prosperity, but great aid to
prosperity. We are in the habit of referring to
the railroads as the arteries of commerce. and so
they are. But they also to be numbered among
the great industries of the country. They give en-
ployment to a vast amy of workmen and they are
purchasers of supplies upon an enormous scale
They are practically the sole customers of the To-
connective works and the car factories and very
large customers of the steel and iron plants and
the bridge building plants And they puchase
vast quantity of supplies of various sorts and kinds
When they prosper, you may be sure that the
country prospers with them.
