Ex-SERvICE MEN RUN BUSES
Former Soldiers and Sailors Are Re-
Employed by the Fifth Avenue
Coach Company.

The Fifth avenue bus in New York
Is national institution. 1t Is as ia
nous as Broadway, Fifth avenue,
Brooklyn bridge and the Woolworth
building The buses which ply
through one OF the most consested
thoroughfares In the world are manned
largely by ex-servlce men. This fact
was discovered recently when en-
ployees of the Fifth Avenue Coach
company, operators of the buses, APP
piled for n charter for an American
Legion post.
"We have found the ex-sLdi, and
ex-sailor to be excellent bus tn,"
said John A. Richie, president o, the
coach company, In recent Interview.
"The ex-service man may have been q
little restless when he came out OF
service, but wasn't everybody little
restless after the WARP asks Mr..
Richie.
Mr.. Richie re-employed every man
Of his organization who had gone to
war and In putting on new employees
has given preference to ex-service
men. His company recently started a
"civility" campaign, the purpose OF
which was to bring about more
friendly relationship between tho
patrons and employees OF the bus. The
campaign has resulted In virtually
eliminating complaints OF passengers,
and, according to Mr.. Richie, proves
that "there are two sides to nearly
every complaint"
