Show THE NEW TRAIN ON THE SALT LAKE ROUTE On a few newspaper men were invited by J. H. the newly appointed assistant general freight and C. its district passenger agent of the Salt Lake to a ride and a lunch on the two new trains inaugurated on The new train 3 leaves Salt Lake at 9 a. and arrives in Los Angeles at 10 a. m. the next its corresponding or train leaves Los Angeles at 2 p. and arrives in Salt Lake at 4 p. m. the following These two trains make immediate connections' at Salt Lake with trains to and from Portland and all points Train 4 has through sleepers from Los Angeles to Kansas These new trains will be a great blessing to only one day on the daylight on the scenic part and night time through the It Pays to Anything that will induce people to travel more is a great blessing to The people who travel and see the world are usually broad minded and while the miser who remains at home and is satisfied to remain in the confines of his little community is usually narrow and The the business the artisan and the learned professors who get out of the rut they are in by taking a journey at least once a year to another are always more happy and prosperous than those who remain at A Good Any railroad that employs courteous and intelligent men and furnishes first class equipment and runs trains to suit the traveling public and thus induces people to is of great value to the intelligence and prosperity of the country where it is' The Salt Lake Route Fills the The Salt Lake Route has fulfilled every requirement to induce people to It is first class in every respect and a more kind and obliging lot of employees cannot be found on any railroad in While the equipment of a railroad is very important to secure business and induce it is only one the one important requisite in successful railroading is kindness and tact on the part of the An elegant and expensive railroad coach that is not kept an lazy and rude who ignores the rules of heat and and a grouchy or a swelled headed and important conductor detract more than an old weather beaten car that is manned by active and painstaking What Makes a This brings me to the most important part of my Let us look at the railroad men met with on that little there was J. H. assistant general freight agent C. district passenger and H. S. superintendent of the Pullman company in this at Tintic Junction we met T. general passenger agent of the Salt Lake and district passenger agent of the D. R. G. All of the above gentlemen hold important positions in the railroad Their How did they obtain the high positions they now Did they have a their fathers or brothers stockholders or and did they use their influence with the rail not one of J. H. Manderfield started in a local station on the C. N. W. C. Kerr entered the employ of a railroad as an assistant at H. S. Twinning first worked as a Pullman conductor in T. C. Peek commenced his' career in a local railroad office in and Benton faced western Nebraska tended the fire in the depot and sold railroad tickets in A Good is well for every young railroad man who sells sends or is a call or sweeps out the or wipes engines in the roundhouse to remember that ninety-nine men out of every hundred who hold important positions in the railroad world were once poor boys and held menial positions below the bottom round of the railroad and it was only by industry and intelligence that each round of the ladder was Do Not Get the Big A good railroad man never got too big in his own estimation for the position he but the position he holds in the eyes of his superiors gets too small for him and he is given a step higher up on the There are many bright young railroad employees who know the baseball schedules better than they know the railroad time they can tell in an instant the number of victories that Jeffries has and yet if jou should ask them what time 3 arrives in they would have to consult a time and such a young man will criticize the railroad he works for because he is not Must Take an The railroad man does not take a deep interest in the road he works for and never does any more than he was hired to never gets a promotion or a raise in A Good for the case of Joe who has been gradually promoted ever since he entered the railroad I take Manderfield because I have been more closely associated with him for the past fifteen years than any other railroad Joe's success comes from the fact that he always works' for the best interests of the road that while at the same time he makes the railroad patrons satisfied and Joe never watched the clock or thought that the railroad could not get along without his Joe can say in such a nice way that patrons never take he is always looking out for and making people An Astute Man's for that the agent at should wire the freight department of the Salt Lake Route at Salt Lake that a man desired to ship two car loads of sheep from that point and that he also desired a certain kind of A little astute railroad man would take that order and reason as man will have to ship over our road as there is no other road within fifty miles of and he will have to take any kind of car we may see fit to furnish He would wire the agent ai Milford to give the shipper the most convenient cars he could Joe's suppose Joe Manderfield get that He would immediately wire the agent at will furnish the kind of cars the shipper wants if And then if he had the time he would take the next train for hunt up the prospective give him a cigar or and he might also buy him a glass of soda or some other Joe would see that the cars were properly if take off his coat and help load the The consequence is Joe has made a friend for himself and a friend for the company and stimulated the agent at Milford to please the customers of the Salt Lake It is the close attention in small matters that finally makes the great railroad |
