Illinois Central's advertising push praised in Sullivan Union
The Sullivan Union lauds Illinois Central Railroad executives for a broad advertising campaign aimed at farmers and communities served by the line. It highlights ICC’s wartime and postwar efficiency, on time passenger arrivals, freight ton miles, and share of national rail traffic. The piece also estimates U S war costs and net losses, noting possible future government bonuses to veterans.
