Announcement
The return of the St. Louis-San Francisco
Railway to its owners carries with it the
definite obligation of public service.
This responsibility we accept. It will be
our effort to make our service merit pat-
ronage. '
Problems confront us that can be solved
only by patience and a cordial understand-
ing between transportation agencies and
the public. This understanding we will
seek to cultivate.
Transportation facilities have not kept
pace with the remarkable growth of the
Southwest. This condition was unavoida-
ble but can and will be remedied.
New equipment is necessary to handle the
constantly increasing traffic due to the
industrial activity in the territory served
by Frisco Lines. It has no equal. Already
we have received 4500 new freight cars and
50 Locomotives. Our duty to further in-
crease our facilities is recognized.
The organization of this Company
throughout is composed of tried and expe-
rienced men long familiar with the prob-
lems of Frisco territory.
