Southern sweet potatoes greet the
eye of tens of thousands of tourists

Seaboard Dining Car Service to order
their dinners. Chefs of the South
say OF the tourists They eat them
three times day.
On these cars sweet potatoes are
served candied, and in more varied
styles than the rainbow has colors
This is done not only to tempt and
please the fancy of the diner patrons,

be of all the service it can to the ter
ritory through which it passes by
helping develop markets for the pro-
ducts of the farmers along it's lines;
hence. it advertises the incompatible

easily grown farm product by favor
ably bringing it to the attention of
untold numbers who have never be-

The railroad does not stop here
but believing in the truth Of the
