Not medals, but friendly letters from folks along the road, like you. We are very proud to have them. We won the first Coffin Medal for excellence in transportation last year. But we value most the letters that come to us as a continuous stream of honor decorations from the people we transport. "I never, to my kno~ledge, saw a group of employes who were so anxious to loolc after the comfort of their passengers. I want to compliment the management for having such a well organized group of trainmen." "One of your mottoes reads: 'The Road of Service', and you are certainly living up to it." "I wish to acknowledge and thank you for the prompt manner in which you located my coat which was left on a train. Your road certainly merits the good will of the public." "You people are indeei to be congratu· lated upon having honest passengers and trainmen." · "In all my experiences with traffic em· ployes; I have never met a more capable, courteous and considerate outfit." These are extracts from some of the letters we have received. There are many more like them. They indicate an extraordinary apprecia~ tion of North Shore Service from the North Shore residents. We will be grateful if you too will give us your opinion of our service. Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad Company Chicago Traffic Dept., 72 West Adams St. Tel.
