Fanny the faithful carrier mourned by Greenbrier Dairy
A letter from Arthur C. Cundy, managing director of Beckley Chamber of Commerce, mourns the loss of Fanny the baggage carrier and laments the shift to a slower mail and freight system. Greenbrier Dairy Products reports higher freight rates and disrupted shipments to Beckley, with perishable items like cream and cheese now moved by less favorable routes and schedules. The issue, affecting Cincinnati to Beckley shipments, prompts further inquiries with the Railway Express Agency and Chesapeake and Ohio lines as officials seek remedies.
