ORSON LEWIS Owner Bingham Stage Lines In 1916 the first permit given for a bus conveyance in the state of Utah was given to Mr. Orson Lewis, owner of the Bingham Stage Lines. His company has lived up to the pledge made by carrying their passengers safely. They are very proud of their unusual mileage record without an acct- dent. To October 1, 1938 they traveled one million consecutive miles without a claim against them. Altogether they have gone three million miles without an accident. > Mr. Lewis is concerned primariI ly with the service and cooperation his company can give the public. His skilled experience and thoroughly competent judgment has done much for the comfort and 1 happiness of the traveling individuals. The Bingham Stage lines are of the most modern type and their service is highly rated. Although Mr. Lewis and company pioneered the Bingham Stage Lines in 1916, it was later taken over by other hands. However, last June they rebought it. They now have 13 buses which bring a majority of their tax revenue into Utah. • THE DRAPER POULTRYMEN INC. DRAPER EGG PRODUCERS ASS'N.
