New Awards Each Day N OCTOBER 11th, 1923, the North Shore Line was awarded the Coffin Medal for its distinguished contribution to transportation, That fact is widely known today. Yet there is something to tell of the months that have followed.

The Coffin Medal is carefully put away, as befits so valuable a prize. ~ Yet every day, as we operate our trains over the road, we carry with us the spirit that prompted its bestowal. Each dal we receive new awardsawards o increased patronage and good will from residents of the North Shore. These substantial awards spur us on to greater accomplishments as nothing else ·could do.
