Pleasant:
Service

a One of our announced aims in the con.
duct of the Illinois Central System is to give
pleasant service.
Our definition of pleasant service is
friendly, personal attention to those who use
our trains. 1t is a definition which, with
occasional exceptions, cur patrons tell us we
live up to pretty well.
For the traveller our ideal of pleasant
service includes help in planning trips,
looking after baggage, comfortable seats and
berths, good lighting, clean and attractive sur
roundings, fresh air warmed or cooled to need,
good food, as little disturbance as possible.
For the shipper and receiver of freight
our ideal of pleasant service includes prompt
and accurate rate information, free pickup
and delivery of less-than-carload shipments,
equipment designed to handle what there is
to ship, painstaking loading and slowing,
effective tracing, correct billing.
For both it includes smooth track, con.
venient schedules, expert handling of trains,
on-time arrival and departure, plus the
knowledge that every man on the railroad
appreciates the patronage given. J

Legion Convention Opens In Bridgeport
Mrs. Fannie Abbott 99 Yrs. Old Friday

Tomorrow will bring another birthday to one of the oldest citizens of Waterbury, or of this part of the state. She is Mrs. Fannie A. Abbott, of 106 Manor avenue, and the birth day tomorrow will be the nin- ty ninth she has seen. Widow of a Methodist minister, Mrs. Abbott has long been a mem- Der of the First Methodist church. Despite her age, she is still very alert, and retains all her faculties. She is very much interested in politics and listens to all the political speeches on the radio. Another favorite program of hers is Amos 'n' Andy, a program which incidentally is noted for it's longevity. Mrs. Abbott still crochets and reads quite a bit.
 Mrs. Abbott is the sister of Benjamin l.. COe, of Holmes avenue. Among her nieces and nephews are John A. Coe, ST., Herbert w. Coe, Robert L. Coe, John s. Coe, Benjamin s. Coe, Dr. Edmund Abbott, Miss F.. Louise Oe and Mrs. Kenneth Bristol of this city, G. Fred Ab- bolt of Middlebury, Wilbur Ab- bolt and Arthur Abbott of Long Island.
