The c ·rounding~ Friendly Transportation I F a passenger pays his fare and is given in return transportation by a railroad, both have, perhaps, contributed all that is necessary· But the North Shore Line desires more of its patrons than the bare cost of their journeys. It wants, also, their friendship. To gain this friendship, the North Shore Line has made every possible effort to make its transpor· tation service wholly deserving. It has made the service it offers the kind that inspires friendship. It is willing to let the courtesy of its employees represent its own spirit toward the people that travel over its line. The North Shore Line wants more patrons, of course - but it prefers to put it this way-it wants more friends. It feels that most of its passengers today are its friends. Many write voluntary letters of com· mendation-enthusiastic, encouraging. You may read some of them in the company's magazine. They expres~ friendship in no uncertain terms.
