Protect the Public

Sir lleury Thornton's message which was to the employee, was in part us follows:

“l know it will be a matter of in- terest and satisfaction for you to ltcur that i continue to receive un- solicited and favorable reports of the service rendered to the public by those of you who. com tact with passengers. This is all to thc good. but it is the kind of thing we nmst all keep after eter- uuiiy to avoid slipping backwards. ll each employs of the company starts his day's work with the in- icution of losing no opportunity to perform kindly acts for the travel- llug public and also his fellow em- ployc. we shall have gone a long way towards retaining the reputa- ilou tor service which we now en- joy. l especially want to ask ticket examiners. gate keepers and trainufen to extend a kindly hand and leave nothing undone for the comfort of the aged, women travel- ing wlthnghllilr tp. a cLthose who may not have “iigoriulitduiy blessed with this world's goods.

100,000 Employel.
