It is .significant that good times are always coincident with heavy buying on the part of the railroads and that bad times are periods of light railway purchases. The Union Pacific System is one of the most important enterprises west of the Missouri River. Its nearly 50,000 employes, and their families, constitute a buying power which is the main reliance of many businesses.
