How Central of Georgia Railway Aids
In Development of Territory It Serves
The Central of Georgia Railway recognizes that its first duty
to the public is to supply quick, ample and reliable transportation.
It also recognizes a further obligation—to aid in the development
of the territory it serves. The railroad prospers and its business
grows as its territory develops.
The best assurance of permanent prosperity is a development
balanced bectween agriculture and industry. The Central of
Georgia Railway has a Development Department with a force of
trained and practical men whose Services are at the disposal of the
public, without charge. These men devote their entire time to
building up agriculture and industry in the states served by the
. Central of Georgia. While this work is the especial function of
the Pevelopment Department the officers and employes of other
departments take keen and active interest in all matters that have
to do with the progress of the Southeast.
‘ While keeping always in mind the basic requirement of
prompt, adequate and reliable transportation, there are many
other things that a railroad can do to advance the interests of its
territory. It is interesting to note the wide field of constructive
work that is open to a railroad that believes in the territory its
serves and the people with whom it does business. Advertising
through the printed and spoken word centers attention upon
natural resources, manufacturing opportunities, business possi
bilties and climatic advantages. The Central of Georgia, for
instance. is now engaged in an extensive advertising campaign to
make the public familiar with the opportunities for successful
ceramic and textile manufacture in this section. Before engaging
in this campaign facts were established by careful research work
conducted by the railway. The industrial Department works with
chambers of commerce and civic organizations in attracting new
industries and in securing new residents.
i The Agricultural Department cooperates with the farmers ss
- they diversify their crops. 1t shares in the expense of experi- .
mental work that promises increased per acre profit to the farmer.
‘lt places at their disposal a study and a knowledge of approved
and advanced methods.
' The Railway’s Freight Traffic Department endeavors to estab
lish and maintain freight rates that will place and keep enterpris
~es in this territory on a fair competitive basis. Shippers are as
sured of ample car supply and are given complete information as
to shipments. Yoo L
The Passenger Traffic Department, through its agents ]
- throughout the country and by widecpread advertising, encour- ]
_ages tourist, vacation visitors and home seekers to come to the ‘
- Southeast. Cheap excursions are operated frequently and low |
fares are made for week-end trips and for the resort season.

Did you ever hear of a ‘‘sinking fund’”’? It goas by various
names, but that is a goud one. [t means 2 part of the profits set
aside for a certain purpose.
When times are good or just normal, set aside every month a
part of your profits, letting it accamulate in your bank. It will
draw interes”, and some day, when business is very bad that sink
ing fund will come in handy. ;

There are many things that the various department of the
Central of Gaeorgia can do, and are doing, to promote development.
The public has shown its appreciation of this practice by according
the Central of Georgia a liberal share of its business. The
