The Service That Wins Approval
The Service That Wins Approval.
Mr. J. Pow, Secretary of the Royal Agricultural Society of New Zealand, writes to the Railway Board as follows:—
On behalf of the Council of this Society I congratulate your Department on the successful train arrangements made in connection with the transport of Royal Show stock.
The officials with whom I came into contact were most sympathetic and courteous and it was indeed a pleasure to work with them. I would like specially to mention Mr. Schierning, of the Transport Office, who was exceedingly willing to do what he could to give satisfaction to this Society and to exhibitors.
In conclusion, I would like to inform your Board that the exhibitors from the North Island were unanimous in their praise for the Department over its desire to make the transport of their valuable stock such a success.
