CENTRAL OF GEORGIA TELLS OF ITS PLANS
FOR THE NEW YEAR
The Central of Georgia Railway, in reviewing the year aboat te close, is pleased to report a sab?
stantUl increase in its traffic. This satisfactory situation reflects the improved conditioas in the terri
tory we serve, the states of Georgia and Alabama. But better crops and better prices are not the only
factors in heavier railway traffic, and not every railroad bas enjoyed increased business.
The Central of Georgia believes that its greater volume of business is due ia large part to tha
friendly feeling that the people of our territory have for the railroad. Wc appreciate beyond expression
the many evidences of this friendship that we continually receive. We recognize the obligation under
which this plaees us. We fully understand that it is ear duty to reciprocate by the best service in oar
power.
In making grateful acknowledgement of eur indebtedness to the public for its support and ca
operation, we are glad to tell of oar plans for 1925. Satisfactory service depends largely upon ample
equipment. The Central of Georgia has been a liberal purchaser of new equipment,annually, for a num
ber of years past. It has just placed orders for additioaal cars and motive power, as follows:
10 nngin??
500 fc?x cars
100 flat car?
10 cabooses
6 stael passenger car?
Plans are bow being worked out lor the installation of additional block signals, new rail, new
ballasting, greater icing facilities, more yard, side and passing tracks, improved bridges, extension of
long distance telephones, enlarged engine-houso structures, and revision of grades. All of these thing*
cont ribute to efficient and dependable operation.
Our present equipment?cars and engines?is in the best condition in our history. The same
thing is true of all our other facilities. For the coming year our patrons will find the Central of (Geor
gia strengthened in every way, capable of handling more business than ever before, and prepared to do
its work promptly and well.
An indespentible factor of satisfactory service is an organization of employes eager to serve the
public. The 10,000 members of the Central of Georgia "family" unite in pledging their best efforts to
meet the increased demands that will be made upon them In 1925.
Each of them will carry into the New Year the trne holiday spirit ef mutual understanding, help"
fulness, fair play and optimism. All of them join in the sincere wish for a Happy Christmas and th?
confident expectation of a Prosperous New Year to the shipper? and passengers who use the Central of
Georgia Railway. ,
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
L. A. DOWNS,
President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.

Why it is
Easy to Own
The Westinghouse Light and Power Plant has demonstrated in actual
day-in and day-out service on farms that it is dependable and easy to
operate.
And now, by making it easy to own as well as easy to operate, West
inghouse has brought all the advantages of electric service within the
reach of every farmer and his family. Electric lights in the farm house
and buildings, electric household appliances, and eiectric power wherever
needed, are made available without delay.
The special Westinghouse deferred payment plan spreads the cost of
the plant itself, the wiring and the equipment, over a period of twelve
months. After making the first payment the farmer may elect to pay the
balance in six, nine or twelve equal monthly payments. Or, if he wishes,
he may pay for the plant in one, two or three payments to be made after
the completion of his erop harvests.
The complete flexibility of this plan makes it applicable to every
farmer's needs. Y?u can install a Westinghouse Light and Power Plant on
your farm, enjoy tfc? comfort and convenience it will bring you, and p?y
for it when your crop? are sold. That's why it is so easy to own. Let us
tell you more about it.
