Central of Georgia Railway Extends Holiday Greetings ^ !
i
i to Its Friends and Patrons
With the approach of Christmas and the New Year, the Central of Georgia Railway
again takes this means of extending the season's greetings to its friends and patrons, In
reviewing the record of 1927, the Central of Georgia finds many things in which it takes
hopeful of the The is most i

appreciative of the potronage and good will of the traveling and shipping pub If and
equally so of the loyalty and co-operation of its employes.
The year Nineteen Twenty-Seven has witnessed some recession from the peak of
business activities reached during the preceding year, but this condition has not been
peculiar to the railroad nor even to this section and was perhaps only to be expected.
A period of unusual development and expansion has, as in the past, been followed by
of lesser activity. Certain economic factors have assisted in bringing this about. C
one
The purchasing power of the farmer was reduced because of th^ comparatively low prices
received for the 1926 cotton crop, and there was a slackening of abnormal building
and allied activities in certain sections. But these changed conditions exerted no more
than a temporary influence and the results of higher prices for cotton and other new crops
are already making themselves felt in the the stimulation of trade and commerce. New
industries have been established in lafge numbers, and existing factories have made prog- i
ress. This territory is stadily advancing toward a balanced development of agriculture
und industry, which is a sure foundation far permanent prosperity.
1 Whether in personal affairs or in in the broader aspects of general business salutory
lessons of efficiency and economy may be learned under the compulsion or circumstan- 1
ces. The rai i I ways of the Southeast (and of the country as a whole) in the face of de
creased traffic have maintained adequate and dependable service. Their property
have been improved and Strengthened that they could protect their net revenui
by retrenchments which in no wise affected their standard of service or involve
i
the deterioration of physical plant, motive power or equipment. Nor has it been neci
j sary to advance the cost of transportation service to the public. The tendency of rates
is still downward and only through increased efficiency and careful economy has it been
possible to safeguard railroad earnings.
Tke year Nineteen Twenty-Eight dawns with the fundamental conditions essentially
sound. The management of this railroad believes that the new year will be one of sub
his stantial Good transportation service will contribute to bringing this about, \
progress.
and it is with the pledge to continue and if possible to improve this railroad’ s service
that the employes and the management of the Central of Georgia Railway extend holid day
greetings to the company's friends and patrons. %
