Better Service Issues Hit Western Kansas Trade
Garden City Kansas businessmen told a Kansas City Chamber of Commerce delegation that Santa Fe rail service and Southwestern Bell Telephone service are driving Kansas City out of part of the western Kansas market. Freight and passenger service to Kansas City were worse than to Denver, shifting trade eastward. Long distance lines to Denver favor that city, where there are three direct lines to Garden City. The Kansas City group plans a tour of Kansas to study trade relations, stopping in Dodge City for breakfast with local business leaders.
