HE North Shore ticket agent is the first representative of the North Shore Line you meet when you travel on the North Shore Line. The agent must be our ambassador - the personification of North Shore Service. That is why we are so careful to pick the right type of men and women to be our representatives. North Shore ticket agents are trained in their line of work like all other North Shore employees. They are on duty continuously selling tickets, answering questions, giving information and assistance on every imaginable subject. · It is part of their duty to be able to give mOTe than routine railroad information. To long-distance travelers, for example, they render a much appreciated service by making Pullman reservations on any railroad out of Chicago, to any point - a service they cheerfully render, without charge. The North Shore ticket agent is one of many Nort~ Shore represent&· tives who make the North Shore Line a pleasant road on which to travel. Chicago North Shore&. Milwaukee R.R. Co.
