Ten Peaches For
- Every Persons in
United States
Ten vpeaches for every man, wo
}nmn and child in the United States
‘were handled by the Central of
f(ivm'gi:l \lhlil\\'n.\' Company last year,
‘:wcor«ling to a statement of President
W. A. Winbum, wsho tells in
‘intorvsting fashion of the methods
of handling perishable freight. In
addition to the peach crop the
Central transports. much of the
Georgia watermelon erop, also Cuban
pinapples. Perishable freight must
be handled in a rapid and depend
able manner, Mr. Winburn says,
otherwise consuming centers would
have to depend upon limited areas
nearby and trade would be con
stricted.
The railway executive goes on to
discuss other features of freight
service, some of which ave little
understood even by shippers, though
the details are very interesting. Ile
‘mnlinvs the methods by which fast
rail and steamer seryice is main
tained and says nineteen vessels can
be Joaded and unloaded at one time
on the Savannah waterfront of the
compaty. §
In order to be ready for revivingl
business the Central of Georgia has
added, sinee .Federal control, 19
locomotives, 500 ventilated box cars
and 100 fat cars. It owns 31H
locomotives and 8,716 freight cars.
The President says that all agents,
employecs and officers of the road
are ready at all times to assist patrons
and give full information and he
urgesthe public to avail themselves
of this service.

Secure From Fire---
But you are secured from going ‘‘broke’’
after the fire if your propérty is properly
insured.
Others consider it better to pay a little for
insurance than to lose a lot by fire. How
about you?
