And there are two steps in its making. FORESEEING opportunity is the first step. FULFILLING it is the second. And both these steps have had their part in North Shore Line progress. Ten years ago, in 1916, the North Shore Line came under its present management. The new management, in taking hold, saw and foresaw cer- tain things about this road. It saw, first of all, that the road served a favored, growing territory. It foresaw that this territory could absorb and would benefit by an improved standard of transportation. So it embarked on the second step of progress. It entered an immediate and definite program to build up its service. This program has never ceased, and it never will. In twenty-two years prior to the change in management, a total of $12,500,000 had been invested in the road. In the last ten years, or since 1916, this investment has been increased by more than 22 million dollars. Today the total investment is approximately $35,000,000. Just how has this additional $22,000,000 been spent? Here are some of the things it has done. It has bought 80 new all-steel passenger cars, including dining and parlor-observation cars. It has bought 48 Merchandise Despatch cars. It has replaced 78 miles of track with new heavy rails and rock-ballasted roadbed. It has laid 52 additional miles of new track, enabling the road to serve new territory. It has established a connecting motor coach service of incalculable value to thousands of com- muters and travelers. Further, it has made pos- sible a system of maintenance and a standard of service second to no other railroad in the country. Why have we done these things? Why have we spent this money? The answer is simple. We want your patronage; we value your good will. The steady growth of North Shore Line patronage convinces us that our efforts are appreciated.
