FLIvvER IDEA FOR RAILROADS

While automobile construction has been tending

gives word of advise the railroad men He ayss
Tell them diminish the weight Of their
rolling stock. Use better lighter steel There's
plenty of it. and only a tribe more
than the bad heavy stuff they now use. They
can cut the weight Of their cars in half carry
more freight and Passengers make more
money. use less fuel and avoid wear and tear
on their roadheds Why. there is no greater
waste in the United States today than the
waste OF weight in steel"

about the same of thing that he has done with
cars
The freight and passenger cars Of steel that have
replaced the old wooden are stronger and safer
undeniably ponderous Their dead weight imposes
a burden TIE tracks bridges and locomotives
producing everywhere more wear and tear and more
expense for steel and making greater nroads into the
steel supply. Any proposal the cars sua her

better steel?

the engines have TO haul many dead steel for
