Use a healing salve on the heel if il

EVERY CITY DOING IT.

San Juan is not alone in want
ing improved street car service.
Almost every city of any size on
the continent has faced, or is
facing, much the same problem.
Where better service has been
made possible it has been based
on a better understanding by the
public of the particular problems
involved.
Street car service is good or
bad chiefly according to the will
of the public. \
We believe we are giving the
best service possible at present.
The service is not as good as we
want to make it, nor is it as good
as we want you to want it.
As we understand the wishes
of the public, and as the public
wants better service. better ser
vice inevitably will result.

WILL YOU HELP?

A city is known by it's
transportation system just
as a man is known by his
companions.
The street car service
isn't as good as it ought to
be. It might be called an
undesirable companion. But
under present conditions
the service is the best, we
believe, that we can make it.
We know how to improve
the service, but alone we
cannot do it.
Not only the future
growth of the city, but its
present size and. the number
of people daily dependent on
the street cars demand a
more rapid service.

this better service possible.
