REMEMBER WAY BACK WHEN—-
Every so often some one sends in to this office an old Cotton Belt advertising novelty gotten out years ago before the inauguration of this department of the railroad.
The latest, sent in by General Agent W. E. Thompson, is an old cotton belt watch fob made of bronze, on one side of which is the. Cotton Belt emblem and on the other side the words “Route Them Via Cotton Belt.”
This was uncovered while landscaping the garden of his home by Paul S. Vance, of. 307 Winona drive, Decatur, Ga. Mr. Vance is agent for Acme Freight Lines.

A. T. Mercier New S. P. President
Armand Theodore Mercier has been elected president of the Southern Pacific System, succeeding the late A. D. McDonald. He has been with the S. P. for 38 years and since 1938 held the position of vice president until his elevation to the presidency on December 11.
Like most railroad executives Mr. Mercier rose from the ranks, having started in 1904 as a transit man and clerk to the roadmaster at Los Angeles. As a engineer he supervised the building of many of the road’s important structures, and as a operating man had served both as a division superintendent and as general manager of the operating department. He had been head of two of the road’s subsidiary companies, the San Diego and Arizona Railroad and the Texas Electric Company before returning to the parent company in 1933 as general manager, later becoming vice president in 1938.

Jerome Weaver, of Pine Bluff, went to see Dr. Harrison, the company dentist, recently, and quotes the Doc as stating that his business is exceptionally good, but no matter how good it is he’s always looking down in the mouth.

FROM OUR LETTER BOX
Old-Time Employe [sic] Enjoys Cotton Belter
Recently there came to our desk a letter from Guy F. Campbell, a brother of Archie M. Campbell, superintendent of our dining car department, who is a former Cotton Belter employe and now resides in California.
Mr. Campbell tells us that it gives him a great deal of pleasure to read each issue of the Cotton Belter, especially when he sees the names of old-timers whom he used to know mentioned in its columns. He said that he started to work for the Cotton Belt as a boy in short pants in the passenger department under Mr. E. W. LeReaume when Mr. F. H. Britton was president, and after 16 years of employment with the Cotton Belt he resigned to enter the commercial field in California. When he left St. Louis on Dec. 26, 1916, a group of fellow employes in the general office presented him with a watch, which he still carries and treasures to this day.
Mr. Campbell is at present connected with the Zellerbach Paper Company, 3000 East 12th street, Los Angeles, and says if any of his old friends visit that city he would appreciate their looking him up.
It is good to know that we have so many former employes who are still loyal Cotton Belt boosters and take pride in the fact that they received their first business training in the employ of the Cotton Belt.
