Frisco Agents to Be Business Getters.
The Frisco proposes to give its
agents an opportunity of proving their
ability as business getters, claim set
tiers, and general managers generally
of territory which will be assigned to
them.
The western division, which centers
about Enid, Okla, will be stripped of
its claim agents, passenger and freight
and others who havo
heretofore assisted the station agent,
and the station agent will be vested
with authority sufficient to transact a
large percent of the business W 'ch
the patrons bring to his attention
without referring it to any department
or official. In this way the patrons Of
the Frisco will be able to accomplish
in few moments many matters
which formerly took at least several
days.
Effective January |, 1912, the agents
on the western division of the Frisco
will have certain territory indicated
to them by Superintendent Schleyer
and it will be up to them to get bust
ness out of it. These agents will not
only have authority to settle claims
for freight loss and damage, but for
live stock as well. and further they
will represent the company in all mat
ters where traffic is concerned in their
territory. and will also have. to some
extent, a voice in the affairs of the
company, the idea being that the sta
tion shall be managed by the station
agent as far as possible. and that N
the community he shall represent the
railroad company identically as an
agent represents a business house in
a territory which has been selected
for him.
Superintendent Schleyer will have
authority to act upon all matters in
which the public is concerned, and
will be able to adjust many such mat
