RAILROAD MEN AND THE PUBLIC, in 1
The Greenville Mountaineer
publishes in ils last issue a letter
writteu some time ago by
Judge Geo. W. Gage, of Chester, ^
to President Finley of the South- 'arK
ern Railway, thanking him for belt
requesting the employees of his 'or '
company to treat the public with
courtesy. The letter is as follows: tl0n
"I was so much pleased with ^ ^
your recent utterances before 8Pni

so to you. of p
A community judges a railroad cp 0
corporation by the treatment it nujfl
is accorded by the road's agents .
there. If railroad agents in sub- 8ftordinate
places would treat the sidei
public like a storekeeper does era,
when the public enters a store, with
the public would rapidly grow n?t
to regard kindly the railroad com .
pany. I am sure the 'average A1
railroad agent does not realize to 8
how much good and how much an?t
harm ho c;in do his principal." Coin
