Commercial Travellers' Samples
Call for Careful Handling.

Each Commercial Traveller is a potential freight-getter, intent on securing business for his employer. Good service to the traveller is good service to the Department, for if samples be miscarried, delayed, injured or destroyed by want of proper care on our part, loss of trade both to the firm concerned and to this Department is likely to ensue.

Every railwayman who handles Commercial Travellers' luggage can assist greatly in giving satisfaction by exercising proper care in handling and stowing.

Don't roll, push, or throw the containers about, but lift them.

Don't leave samples exposed to the rain.

Do use trollies whenever available, especially when loading into or unloading from vans, but in any case

Don't simply drop or push the containers from the van to the platform. Want of care in this respect causes 50 per cent, of the damage.

The goods are valuable—Handle them accordingly.
