At any time, upon sufficient notice, this car will be run to Denison, provided there are as many as twenty Denison passengers thereon out of Dallas. Attention is also called to the fact that there is a midnight car out of Dallas, running to McKinney. EXPRESS AND BAGGAGE SERVICES Baggage: The North Texas Transfer & Warehouse Company operates regular baggage and express cars for the transportation of baggage and express, and such matter is forwarded promptly. A limited amount of baggage is carried on passenger cars. Ticket and baggage agents are located in the leading hotels in Dallas, Sherman and Denison, where tickets can be purchased and baggage checked direct from hotels of one city to depots and hotels of the other city, saving the passenger the necessity of going to the depot. Baggage may also be checked from residences at Dallas, Sherman and Denison. Express: The "Interurban Express," operated by the North Texas Transfer & Warehouse Company, is the Pioneer Electric Express Line of the South. The organization and service of the "Interurban Express" is most complete in every respect. Three fifty-foot express cars for the transportation of express and baggage, package service on all passenger cars (twenty times daily each way), and wagons for delivery and collection at Dallas, Plano, McKinney, Van Alstyne, Sherman and Denison, enables them to offer quickest and best service possible. General Offices, Interurban Building, 300 Commerce St., Dallas, Texas. ADJUSTMENT OF DIFFERENCES The purpose of the management of these companies is to extend every possible convenience and courtesy to the traveling public. To this end it is the intention to employ none but courteous, pains-taking men. Passengers are requested to report to the General Passenger Agent any instances of incivility on the part of agents, trainmen or other employes. In the event of any disagreement with an agent or conductor relative to tickets, privileges, etc., passengers should pay the employe's claim, take a receipt, and refer the matter to the General Passenger Agent. The employee has no discretion in such matters, but is governed by rules which he has no authority to change or deviate from. -25- |
