CENTRAL OF GEORGIA PREPARES FOR
HEAVY FALL BUSINESS
The Central of Georgia Railway is making preparations to handle a heavy traffic this fall, and !:<
relying upon the public to do its part so that promptand efficient transportation may prevent any delay
or interruption to business.
All indications point to increased volume of business during the remaining months of 1924. Pros
pects are brighter than they have been in years. The cotton crop in Georgia promises to be larger than
in any year since 1920; in Alabama more than in ay years since 1915. and is being rapidly marketed.
Prices profltabel to the producer are justified by conditions of supply and demand. Corn shows an in
crease in price over last year, as does live stock. Watermelons were most satisfactory in volume. Tobac
co has brought millions of dollars to the growers. T he yield and price of peanuts have been most encour
aging. Better marketing facilities for poultry products have stimulated production and increased return.
Agriculture is the Imsic industry of Georgia and Alabama. An increase in the purchasing power of
the fanner crbntes an increase in transportation. That means the purchase of more materials and sup
plies and the employment of more men. This in turn stimulates retail trade. Reports are that mer
chants are buying more freely and increasing their stocks. In this section every condition seems to jus
tify the belief that “good times are here again.”
The Central of Georgia has steadily added new equipment and has just placed an order for addition
al locomotives. We have followed a consistent program of putting our locomotives and cars in good re
pair, improving and enlarging our facilities, and devoting our attention to efficient car movement. As a
result we find ourselves ready to meet the growing demands of our patrons. Ninety-two per cent of our
locomotives ami ninety-four percent of our ears are in good order. We are increasing our shop forces to
improve further this excellent condition.
There are certain simple and practicable means whereby the people may have a hand in assuring
efficient transportation. They should load cars to capacity. They sltould load and unload cars with
the utmost promptness. They should refrain from ordering more cars than are sufficient for their daily
requirements.
Consumers of ooal should, without further delay, provide for their winter requirements. Failure to
do so may cause delay in delivery when the supply is most needed. Even this far in advance of the peak
movement of fuel, there are no idle oars on the Central of Georgia Railway.
By such means shippers and receivers of freight may co-operate with the stops taken by the rail
ways to guard against a car shortage with its attendant disturbance to business.
The Central of Georgia appreciate* the co-operation it has received and is daily receiving from its
patrons. It assures them of its willingness and its ability to give them satisfactory service, and of its
deairo to merit tiusr good w ill through auah service.
€&nrttwtrre criticism and suggestions arc invited.
