“All Hands Seem Ready to Oblige.”
In noting the factors which have contributed to the improvement, during recent months, in the revenue position of the Railways, the Winton Record pays the following tribute to the Railways management and staff:—“They have shown,” proceeds the Record, “that they are capable given the opportunity, of applying business principles. In any big business there are exceptions, but it is usual for the public to acknowledge the new spirit of service that animates the Department. All hands seem ready to oblige, and with increased efficiency has gone economy, a double benefit. The Department is out for business, it is trying to think for and serve the customer—a policy that should have its reward so soon as the economic clouds begin to lift.”
