By Those Who Like us

From the Secretary of the Waimate Agricultural and Pastoral Association, Waimate, to the Stationmaster, Waimate:—

I have much pleasure, on behalf of my Committee, in conveying to you our hearty thanks and appreciation of the excellent arrangements made by your Department in regard to transport of stock to and from our recent Jubilee Show, and the capable manner in which these arrangements were carried out by your staff. Such practical and smooth working assistance from your Department and staff I can assure you helps to make our Shows successful, and is greatly appreciated by my Committee.

From the local manager, The New Zealand Shipping Company, Ltd., Christ-church, to the District Traffic Manager, Christchurch:—

We would like to express our thanks for the great assistance we received from your officials, both at Lyttelton and at Christchurch, in expediting delivery of a consignment for our Company, which arrived recently by the “Opawa.”

It was essential for us to get delivery of this consignment as early as possible, and the assistance given us by your officials as mentioned above enabled us to get exceedingly prompt delivery into our office.

From the Managing Director, Russell and Company Ltd., Ashburton, to the Stationmaster, Ashburton;—

We wish to record our appreciation of your assistance in securing our radio sets, ex R.M.S. “Aorangi” in time for our local show.

The sets were, we understand, unloaded from the “Aorangi” at Auckland, reloaded on to the 7 p.m. express for Wellington the same day, and arrived in Ashburton within forty-eight hours.

Through the courtesy and consideration of your staff we were informed of the arrangements made, and also were called on the telephone when the sets arrived in Ashburton.

It is evident that railway officials are endeavouring to give real service and have imbued the staff with that idea. This policy is a great asset to the business community, and particularly so in these critical times.

From Mr. L. B. Jordan, Pukekohe, to the District Traffic Manager, Auckland:—

I would like to express my appreciation of the capable manner in which your Department conducted the removal of my furniture from Manaia to Pukekohe; the transfer was conducted without a single breakage.

I would also commend to your notice the fact that the railway staff have been most helpful and courteous throughout.
