A CENTURY OF SERVICE

This dramatic painting by a famous artist
pictures the 100 colorful years of express service.
It contrasts yesterday's romantic Pony Express,
the rumbling Overland Stage and quaint "Iron
Horse" with today's mighty express trains and
super-swift planes that carry the goods of the
nation from coast to coast, border to border.
Today RAILWAY EXPRESS has more than
57,000 employes, 11,300 motor vehicles and
23,000 nation-wide offices, with pick-up and de-
livery service in all cities and principal towns.
