The Central of Georgia
Centennial
On December 15, 1835. one hundred years ago. the first rail
was laid at Savannah for the Central of Gecrgia Railway. Through
out the territory now served by the railroad centennial celebrations
to commemorate the event will be held. These celebrations are
unique in that they were conceived and are being carried out by
the employes of the railway in cooperation with patrons and friends
among the public. The principal celebration will naturally be at
Savannah where the road had its actual beginning. Here the Em
ployes Club of the railroad has arranged an historical pageant
depicting the development of transportation fron. the early days.
In recent years there have been other railway centennials,
each with its historical interest but the distinguishing and signifi
cant characteristic of this one is that the people we serve and
the employes who serve these people are uniting to honor an in
stitution that Tor a hundred years has been a part of their lives of
their forbears.
The management is profoundly grateful for this evidence of
good will which carries with it so much of significance as to past
accomplishment and so much of encouragement for the future.
During its whole history the Central of Georgia has endeavored
tc deal justly and honorably with the men and women in its em
ploy, to supply them with continuous employment under proper
working conditions at fair rates of pay and to take a proper interest
in the health, safety and welfare of them and their families.
In its relations with the public the Central o.* Georgia has en
deavored to render prompt, adequate and dependable transporta
tion tc build up and develop its territory and to be a good citizen
and a friendly neighbor in each community it serves.
Our employes, cur patrons and our friends continuously
throughout the long years of e.ur history, and especially at this time
of cur hundredth anniversary, have made us know that our pur
poses are understood and appreciated.
