TRAFFIC BOOKLET
 TO BE DISTRIBUTED
Less Carload Freight Schedules
 Are Shown

Booklet which the Birmingham Traf- fic association has compiled showing the less carload freight schedules from Birmingham to ali points located in Birmingham's actual and potential trade territory will be distributed to the membership this week.
 The use to be made of the informa- tion in the pamphlet, it's value, etc, is explained in a letter from c. E. James, secretary, as follows: aAdequate railroad service to the shipper and receiver of traffic, espee- ialiy the jobber or merchant, is just as much the proper function of your association as the handling of rates. Lack of knowledge on the part of the sa1esmen or the house he represents as to service accorded less carload ship ments of freight is undoubtedly the cause in some cases for failure to se- cure new business pr the inability to hold present customers.
 "We believe that progressive sales man, representing progressive house, in addition to being equipped with the freight rates to points covered should also have a complete record of the serv- ice which the railroads accord .less car load shipments out of Birmingham 50 that he may be able to inform his cus- toner as to what the freight schedules are and when the merchant may expect delivery if the goods are purchased in Birmingham.
 The plan is now being considered of having, if possible. all railroads to furnish this association monthly re- ports showing whether the package car schedules listed have been maintained and if not the delays and to what points.
 Operation of package cars to only the points shown does not mean that freight for only those points are trans ported in these package cars but freight to points beyond and to other railroad connectinna.n
