YOU SAVE MONEY!

We help most families in Mid-America
save money. It's hard to beat the prices
we charge for moving most of the things
a family buys.
The more business we handle, the
more you V Last year we did more
freight business than in several previous
years. More shippers used our services
and found them better and more eco
nomical.
This year we plan many Improvements.
These will cost us about $50 million. Well
add new locomotives and thousands of
new freight cars, many of them special
cars that do the best job of handling GER
tain kinds of freight. Well put about 81
million into other Improvements that will
help trains move faster and more de-
pe7dably.
This years Improvements are the latest
in a long range program into which we
have put $3.50 million since World War II.
This program is good for us and helps
make living better and more economical
for every family in Mid-America.
