    Description

    1949 "
    YOU AND YOUR RAILROADS"
    published by the ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN RAILROADS
    The Association had a location of the transportation Building in Washington D.C.
    This is a superior example!
    It is in wonderful condition.  No pen or pencil marking or tears.  No foxing that I have seen.  There is a tiniest amount of soil on the cover (it is very light) and a  crease on the rear cover where it had been folded over at one time. The most minor of wear to edges.
    Please enlarge the photos as we have provided as they are a material part of the description.
    The report is a
    fascinating
    look at commerce and wages in the time period 1921 to 1949.
    There is more but this reveals the goods and the cost of transporting these, the taxes, the expenses, the ROI, the average wages (.61 cents an hour in 1921 and 74 cents in 1939, and more than 1.25 in the first quarter of 1949) and much more in this 23 age booklet.
