When the talk turns from politics to railroads,
and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks
in with, "There's an awful lot of 'water' in
the railroads," here are some hard-pan facts
to give him:
American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile
roadbed, structures, stations, yards, termin
als, freight and passenger trains everything
from the great city terminals to the last spike.
A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs
$36,000 a mile just a bare road, not count
ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc
Our railroads couldn't be duplicated to
day for $150,000 a mile.
They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile
much less than their actual value. Seventy-one
thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive.
English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a
mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000;
even in Canada (still in pioneer development)
they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The
average for all foreign countries is $100,000.
Low capitalization and high operating effici
ency have enabled American Railroads to pay
the highest wages while charging the lowest
rates.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
No Secret Diplomacy Here
There will be a greater shortage of cars this year than last. We cr.n pive
you reasonably prompt delivery now, but are facing a serious shortage for
Spring and Summer. Why? Less climatically favored sections of this ?reat
country of ours are snow bound during December and January and the Ford
Motor Co. will not stock cars in one section of the country if they can be used
In any other. We can get cars now while these territories are frozen up and
snowed in. Let's get them. Give us your order now and have yours when
you need it. ' You can use it every day in our glorious Nebraska.
By the way, have you noticed how many cars began the New Year with
an increase in price. A word to the wise is sufficient
You know the price. You fan get delivery. The spring holds nothing
but uncertainty a to both.
