According to Mr.. Robinson the
Central OF Georgia feels a very keen
interest in the commercial. industrial
and civic affairs Of the states it ira
verses, namely Georgia and Alabama,
and the state OF Florida which it also
serves, and it feels that the service
which it is best fitted to perform is
to provide such facilities as to render
it safe, convenient and easy for resort
travellers and investors to visit these
states and see what a land OF oppor-
tunity they comprise.
In adding service to all Of its usual
through trains, and adding more than
fifty per cent in additional trains, the
Central has wisely prepared to per-
form unusual service at an unusual
time, and TO perform it, according to
the company's slogan, in the right
way"
