TALK™
My neighbor and friend has
ttrau berry field, which he cultivat
for the market- His success depends
of course on his diligence and the
weather conditions.
The last crop came through under
difficulties; the heavy spring rains
heat furiously on the tender plants;
it seemed for .*1 time that they would
be buried in mud and destroyed. But,
at each gleam of sunshine, they
sprang to life and vigor again; it was
a struggle—a very hard one. At la-!
however, they grew strong, hurst in
to bloom, and soon ripened the
choicest berries 1 have ever seen.
They were sweeter, the neighbor
said, for their having plenty of mois-
which trace renewed vigor and
more active growth. Had there been
no cloud,, rain and mud. he would
not have had half a crop, and that
inferior berries.
I thought of myself as i pla

Central of Georgia Discusses Public
Relations Campaign of the Railroads
Few activities of a railroad are to little understood .as those dealing with its
public relatione work. Some patrons, as well as some employes, consider this phaRt
of railroad operation as including only the ia-uance, through nevi*papers „ r other
means, of statements intended to put the railroads in a favorable light. This is by
no means the case. Properly speaking, public relation- work includes practically
every phase of railroad operation.
In their public relations campaign the railroads are, frankly, endeavoring to re
tain and increase the good will of the public—not; through the distribution of “rail
road propaganda" but by rendering the kind of service which the public has a right
t 0 expect. No inefficient, poorly managed or operated railroad can win public favor
by is-uing fahe or misleading statements about itself.
Any advertising enmpagin, whether to sell goods or to gain good will, must be
based upon the facts. No such campaign could be effective unless it dealt strictly
with the truth. Before a railroad can properly and profitably talk about it«*lf, it
must bring its service up to the highest pos-ible standard of efficiency. Then and
♦ hen only can it property come before the public with a statement of its accomplish
ments and its problem;-. The policy of taking the public into the railroads’ confi
dence ha- made it necessary for the railroads to have Something worth telling the
public.
For the post eight years the Central of Georgia and a number of other railroads
have, through the medium of paid advertisements and other periodical tetatements,
sought to keep the public and their own employes fully informed as to railroad ac
complishments and problems. The management of this railroad believes that the
people of its territory—both patrons and employes—have a right to the facts
about its operation. Since, under modern conditions, railroad service Affects the
lives and living of almost everyone, difference- of opinion as to the costs or other
features of railroad service are to some extent inevitable. Where these differences
do arise, railroad management believes that the obligation rests upon it to mukc a
frank and truthful statement of it- side of the question. It is eigrtfiount that
since the railroads adopted this policy of taking the public into their confidence, co
rporation between patrons and the railroads has been greater than ever before and
transportation service has in this country reached the highest standard in history.
The Central of Georgia ha 1 : no designated public relations officer or department.
The management looks upon every offcier and employe as a public relations repre
sentative. It weeks to have each of these representntives recognize his responsibility
to the patrorfc of the railroad. It seeks to have those officer* and employes who
come in direct c ontact with the public realize the importance and the value of courtesy
efficiency and an intelligent knowledge of the service and facilities of this and other
railroads. It seeks to have its .other officers and employes recognize their respon
sibility to co-operate in keeping this railroad’s service up to the standard thet Will
deserve the public’s good will. It expects every employe to measure up to the highest
standard of good citizen-hip in his community. Upon the fundamental principle of
rendering service as efficiently and economically as possible is based the cnlf.re
public relations campaign of the Central of Georgia.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
A. E. CLIFT,
President, Central of Georgia Railway Company.
Savapnah, Ga., September 10, 1929.
