Text Appearing Before Image:
than that, sir, we are prepared to instal our systemon any part of your trunk line or any of its branches atour own expense. Test it for yourself. Prove itsefficiency. It is the only device known that willeffectually end railroad wrecks for all time. Itsimply cannot fail. It is as exact in its working asnatural law. All we ask you to do is to consider theproofs. Prove it for yourself. And, Mr. Graham,permit me to remind you that the responsibility of allwrecks happening hereafter on your road and causedby the ever-present weakness of the human agencywill be strictly up to you—if you refuse us a fair andsquare investigation of our claims.
