The corrupt practice "a c t

materially changed the manner
of carrying on campaigns.
The campaign just passed
through in the city has been as
hotly contested as any we have
had in late years. Both asp,r

new alignment of supporters
and while there was much
active work done by the friends

were no beer parties given by

The assistance that rendered

PENNSYLVANIA
RAILROAD
@
About Courteous Treatment

When a passenger goes
to a railroad train and is
met by an attentive porter
who takes his bag, and a
courteous conductor who
assigns him to his seat or
berth in a welcoming tone.
his trip has begun pleas
antly.
Later on, when the con-
ductor comes along and
takes up his ticket as if it
were a pleasure instead Of
a duty, he begins to feel
that he is in the hands of
friends who have his wei
fare and comfort at heart.
And when he meets a
pleasant greeting and has a
good meal promptly and
deity served in the dining
car, and afterward finds
some companionable people
in the club car, he realizes
that there is genuine enjoy
ment in the modern means
of travel.
1t is the constant aim
of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road management to set
and maintain this standard
on its trains. Its employees
are instructed and trained
in the school of civilitv,
courtesy and good manners.
AS far as they are con-
cerned. every passenger is
on a pleasure trip, and it is
a part of their duty to
lend all the aid they can
to make it so.
A passenger chooses his
train very much as he does
his hotel, and his patronage
is an asset which increases
with the manner in which
it is cul tivated. The
management knows this
and its golden rule is
Strive to please.
There is a good deal Of
heart in a corporation after
all.
