SELLING AND SERVICE

Milwaukee Road employes are obtaining business through their friends and acquaintanoes and in so do~ng are afforded the opportunity of emphasizing th~.attraotivg features of rail travel that cannot be supplied by o~her transportation agencies.

Aside from the usual advantages of rail transportation, passenger fares are now exoeptionally low, whioh, with the modern equipment and faster sohedules, make travel on Milwaukee trains more eoonomioal and oomfortable.

It is not only our responsibility to obtain business for the railroad, but as servioe oapably performed is the best selling point we have to offerlit is important that we support solioitation by maintaining a high standard of servioe.

The Milwaukee Road, over a long period of years, has en­ deavored to render such a servioe and with the oooperation of all, further improvements oan be made and many oomplaints eliminated.
