would not sub-let space in our cars

from to per cent. to 2.3 per cent. The
price of nothing that we sell has gone
up. We are at our witu‘ ends to know
how to pay our bills.
“We can get enough money out of
this advertising privilege to buy each
year in nllstet-l passenger train cars;
or to buy it big steam locomotives; or
to put rock ballast on is miles of
double track: or to put in 30 miles of
the most modem automatic block sig-|
rials. We think the revenue may be
more than sufficient to do this, and
perhaps doubly so.
"Under those conditions, it did not
seem to our Directors that we were
justified in ignoring such a source of
