CtlARI,ES TOWN, WEST VA, RAILROAD DOLLAR COULD BE MARKED-- yOU would find these dollars in your pocket, whether you ore a manufacturer, a coal miner, o steel worker, a merchont, a farmer, a butcher, o baker, or o candle- stick maker. Last year, the American railroads--the nation's No. 1 customer--spent more than o billion dollors for materials ond supplies--70,000 different items--used in their everyday operation. More than a billion dollars distributed in the thousands of industrial and agricultural communities in every section of the land. Consider a few items on this stupendous "shopping list": nearly one-fourth of all the bituminous coal produced in the United States, one-fifth of the entire timber cut, more than 18 per cent of the iron and steel output, one-fifth of the fuel oil, 790 tons of pins and paper clips, $14,000,000 for stationery and printing, to say nothing of nine million pounds of potatoes and two milSon dozen eggs, purchased from the farmer; more than 15 million pounds of choice meats, from the butcher; and 22V~ million slices of bread and 30 million rolls, from the baker the railroads are good customers even of the candle-stick maker. But what do these railway purchases mean to you? Railroad purposes pay 20 per cent of your wages, if you are o lumber worker; about 25 per cent, if you are o cool miner; 18 per cent, if you work in the steel in- dustry, and a substantial part of the income of millions of other men and women engaged in thousands of other pursuits. Coming closer home, your railroad--the Norfolk and Western--lost year ex- pended opproximately $18,000,000 for materials and supplies in the hundreds of communities along its lines and in other parts of the country. Railroad purchases are in direct proportion to railway revenues. And our patronage ond support determine railway revenues.
