Ask the Newsbox

The success of any enterprise In Q free country is in direct proportion to the service rendered. Anyone who has done Q days work should realize this basic truth. Ask the newSboy how he gets and keeps his customers. If he is a success ful newSboy, his answer will be the same as that of the president of the largest cor poration. He tries to do good job. It IS just that simple.
 New industries are the result of sonle- one figuring out way to supply sonle- thing the public wants. A hundred years ago Q train conductor saw the need of speedy transportation of certain types of periShable or valuable commodities. Out of his idea, the Railway Express Agency developed. While 1t carries the name of railroads, 1t does not confine it's activities to moving goods by rail. As in the begin ming, its primary objective is to render Q special fast shipping service to the pub lie, regardless of the means of convey ance.
 When the potentialities of air transport were recognized, air express and combined rail-air express were established. Packages can now be shipped by air from thousands of off-airline points Every railway express office is an air express office. Parcels marked for air express travel by shipped.
