One block north of Davia Street RUGS John B. Nazarian· The Human Equation in Transportation A RAILROAD is known by the employes it keeps. Excellence of equipment is only fully realized when tlie men in charge of the equip.. ment are of the highest type. That is the reason why the North Shore Line has used the greatest care in picking its employes. They must be skilled in the operation of the equipment this much is sought by every railroad - but the North Shore Line has additionally seen to it that the men it employs have a real spirit of courtesy. and friendliness towards its patrons. That the · personal relation between operative and passenger on the North Shore Line has come to be a most pleasant one, is evidenced by the number of letters received every month commending train. . men and station representatives for various extra services they have shown to patrons. This spirit of helpful~ess extends, of course, to the kind of transportation fur... nished by the North Shore Line. Fast, frequent trains link Chicaf!o's south side, loop and north side to Milwaukee's business center, and to every town between. REASONABLENESS up~~~ey?~~ ~~~ ~~~~!~ .
