The Southern Railway System does bring new industries to the South. Not in one piece on a flat car, however! What actually happens is this... We l:ave an Industrial Devel opment Department staffed by experts who know the South as well as you know your own back yard. They have the answers to all questions concerning plant sites, raw materials, labor, power, fuel, water, climate, and trans portation. And they will gladly skip meals, work all night and travel thou sands of miles to bring new industries to the Southland. They get their “tips” about prospective plants by keeping up with the trend of business... by checking industrial and financial publications... by watching and studying developments in all parts of the country. Sometimes the “tip” comes from folks living in the South. And sometimes it comes from the new industry itself. When the“tip”comes, the men in our Industrial Development Department swing into action. And you can see the results of their work in the many new industries . . . 148 of them last year alone... all along the 8,000- mile line of the Southern Railway System. Why do we do it? Because we know that the Southern can prosper and progress only as the territory served by it prospers and progresses! £****& £• Tve'istM* President SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM Cow Adveftiw,, EicKv,. tnc. 1946 We’ve the top honors in the ‘Heart Suit’ for your Valen tine—gifts that bid high for flattering the feminine fan cy for loveliness . . . gifts that are exciting chapers in he ‘sweetest story ever told ’ Some are listed here—many others are on display at our store And remember, from Valentines to Vitamins, you’ll find quality paired with economy to .give .you money r .w IPANA TOOTH PASTE 50c SIZE 39c DOROTHY GRAY DRY SKIN MIXTURE 2.25 SIZE 1.00 Ws FALCON CANDID CAMERA WITH CARRYING CASE 3.75 VITALIS HAIR TONIC 39c §. 5/: e v; DOROTHY GRAY BLUSTERY WEATHER LOTION 2.00 SIZE 1.00 nm r&i'i’/ * •Oft i/Si n CAR0ID AND BILE SALT TABLETS 100 TABLETS 98c PERFECTION HAND CREAM LIMLTED TIME LGE SIZE 49c m ’$58 1.09 FOLLOW ME PERFUME BY VARVA 1.00 COLGATE TOOTH PASTE GIANT SIZE 37c INTRODUCING ^ C/fyt>ac>c/eri£~ S0«VALUE I 25* _ TUBES i ADD 20 PER CT.
