Cotton Belter Newsletter 1941-12-27 part 5

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.
