Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Year Book, 1913: National Railway Appliances Association Annual Exhibition Held at Chicago, March 15-21, 1913
The National Railway Appliances Association, as an organization, represents the grouping together of a certain class of manufacturers who are furnishing modern transportation systems with those things which make for progress. It occupies a position in and owes a duty to the great industry of modern transportation.
Progress is the law of life. Our part as an Association in that progress which means life to the railroads, means not only honesty in manufacturing, but in acquainting those who are in charge of the operation of our railroad systems with what we are manufacturing. The purpose of the Year Book of the National Railway Appliances Association is apparent. What our Association is doing as a body, and as individual members, is of inestimable value to the men who are operating the railroads and whom we are trying to serve. Many railroad officials visit our exposition, held each year in the Coliseum and Armory at Chicago. To them this Year Book goes in order that they may have for ready reference information in regard to what has been shown at these annual exhibitions. To the railway officials who, because of pressing duties of railway service, have been unable to take advantage of what we have ofiered, this book goes as concise and complete information of what we are doing as an Association and as individual members in the furthering of better and more efficient railway operation.
