ee ----d tye pr March 6, 1926 WINNETKA TALK North Shore Line Report Indicates Splendid Progress) The Chicago North Shore and Mil- waukee Railroad company--the North Shore Line--carried a total of 18,229,- 160 passengers during the year 1925, or an increase of 1,057,975 as compared | with 1924, on the combined transporta- tion facilities of the company. This is one of the many interesting facts on growth and expansion set forth in the annual report for the year 1925 just sent to stockholders by the com- pany. The main line railroad, connecting the Chicago Loop and downtown Mil- waukee and serving intermediate points with high-speed electric transportation, carried 9,814,594 revenue passengers, an increase of 354,480 over the previous year. A total of 536,095 tons of merchan- dise was transported over this line by the merchandise despatch service. This is an increase of 202,207 tons over the total merchandise handled in 1924. Healthy increases were also made in the express and milk departments, it was said. "The larger electrically-operated rail- road service provided the public is seen in the fact that North Shore line trains operated 10,989,774 car miles, an in- crease of 1,107,975 miles over the pre- vious year," adds the report. "This does not include car mileage of city lines." "On the motor coach routes, operat- ed as auxiliary to the high-speed elec- trically-operated railroad, 963,503 pas- sengers were carried, This is an in- crease of 175,376 over the total, carried in 1924." Parlor and dining car facilities on the limited trains are being used on a constantly increasing scale. This is attested by the fact that 79,000 meals were served and 39,000 riders were car- ried in parlor cars during 1925. The stockholders of the North Shore Line number 8250, the majority of whom are residents of the communi- ties served. The larger percentage of employes are stockholders.

'YOU ARE ENTITLED TO KNOW THE FACTS DODGE BROTHERS, INC. ly STEEL could meet a test A Dodge Brothers Motor Car . . . As racing down hill and out of control . . . A collision . . . Take one look at this photograph. It is not pretty, to be sure, but it will convince any sensible man that all steel construc- tion is the only safe construction for a motor car body. That is why Dodge Brothers introduced the all steel body more than eleven years ago, and this year greatly improved and perfected it. In fact, Dodge Brothers are convinced that the day is not far off when wooden motor car bodies will be a curiosity. People will shudder at the thought of having ridden in them and will thank Dodge Brothers for the greater safety, durability--and beauty, too--of all steel construction. A steel body will stand up under impacts that would crush the average body to bits. Steel cannot splinter. Steel cannot burn. Steel is an armor of protection on the crowded, hurrying highway. Stee thls peeding truck Outwardly, nearly all types of bodies ap- pear to be all steel. In reality, however, most of them are simply frames of wood covered by a metal shell. Dodge Brothers Motor Car bodies are steel through and through--steel reine forced by steel--buttressed and braced by steel--even the frames and running boards are steel. And slender, stronger steel corner posts replace the customary bulky posts of wood, affording full, unhampered driving vision on all sides--a safety feature of the first importance! Travel in safety! Powerful, quick-action brakes, a chassis world-famous for its sturdiness, and a body of steel -- these explain the enviable reputation for safety enjoyed by Dodge Brothers Motor Car --and the enviable feeling of safety ep joyed by those who drive it. The car will continue to be a "four". No reasonable buyer will be dise tracted from the issue of QUALITY by mere CYLINDER propaganda.
