The fact that there now five outlets by
rail from Lubbock giving the city advantageous
facilities for quick distribution OF products over

of large land tracts such as the Post interest and

cilities for this section. he only logical point
for connection is from Lubbock
For years there have been talks OF posi-
bic connections with Fort Worth tapping the
Crosbyton branch and then extension OF an
other line west from Lubbock, through the
heart of Hockey county and the more favor
able agricultural region Of the Eastern Plains OF
