I. c. Development Bureau.

The Illinois Central System
maintains a Development bureau
for the purpose of impressing upon
those planning to establish new in
dustries or relocate established
Industries the desirability of the
Illinois Central System territory.
According to a statement made by
President G. H. Markham, the
Illinois Central System System is
striving to make the communities
along its lines desirable as industry
locations, and the railroad will
give every attention to the building
up OF business in the communities
on its lines.
The development bureau of the
Illinois Central System is prepared
to advance complete and reliable
information concerning population,
APPROPRIATION lines, availability Of
raw materials, electric and water
power service, rates on gas and
electricity, water supply labor and
housing conditions, taxes, resources
and deposits of banks, fire protect
ion. schools, churches, recreation
Acilities, industries already located
and available sites Tor any com
uunity on the Illinois Central
System.
Mr.. Markham says that tie terri
tory served by the Illinois Contra
System offers advantages of supe-
rior nature for the location of new
Industries. The railroad reaches
from Great lakes at Chicago to
The Gull Of Mexico at New Orleans
and from the upper Missouii River
Valley at Omaha, Sioux City and
ox Falls to the Atlantic sea-
ard at Savannah, with a network
u feeder lines woven through the
nromparahle Mississippi Valley.
