At the time NOOX-1D was applied to this stand pipe a year ago, approximately 20% of the metal had been Iost. The plates were shot full of pits. Corrosion had kncrwed the bolt heads out of shape. Recent inspection showed no live pits, no trace of corrosion, since the NO-OX-ID application.

As long as there is an unbroken film of NO-OX-ID on the metal, there can be no more reduction of the safety factor, no need for replacement.

Maintenance engineers are able to expand programs on tank and bridge work 60% without increasinq budgets, when NO-OX-ID is used. We invite your in- vestigation of Dearbarn's method of maintaining the safety factor.

public and each day an air-conditioned train was placed for visitors to ex- amine. "Railroacl Week" will long he remembered in Ft. Worth, Tex.

The varions local freight agents of railroads which serve Memphis, Tenn., united in issuing a statement during "Railroad Week" showing (that approximately $725.000.00 monthly, or about $24.000.00 daily flows into the business life of Memphis, and sen t this statement to approxlmately 1,500 buslness and professional men of that city. In addition, thera were radio addresses, and a special train which took approximately 300 persons on a six-hour trip through the Memphis Terminal. The train was made up of equipment from the various railroads a t Memphis with an air-conditioned car and five flat cars being the con- tribution of Frisco Lines. The air-

credit, 22 of them having been spent a t Okmulgee, Okla.

There were more than 100 friends present a t the luncheon and they paid Mr. Brundidge high tribute.

cond'ltioned car received much corn- ment. Various clubs were addressed throughout the week and railroad exhibits were numerous.

Railroad employes of Joplin. Mo., did much preparatory work before "Railroad Week", in having announce- ments made from pulpits, slides at motion picture houses, etc., and promptly a t 8:00 a. m. on June 10. eleven of the most popular girls of Joplin, including Elaine Arendale, the Ozark Smile Girl and Eleanor Kincade, Fiesta Queen a t the Joplin spring festival, partlclpated in blowing locomotive whistles t o nsher in "Railroad Week". Fire sirens wailed and the week was noisily announced. Exhibits In store windows, addresses before various clubs and radio audi- ences, inspection trips through the shops and splendid co-operation from t h e newspapers made the week a most successful one a t Joplin.

"Railroad Week" was a huge success in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Two full pages of advertising appeared in the newspapers which told what the railroads were doing and had done for that comn~unity. Over 1,000 persons viewed a big oil-burning locomotive on dSsplay, and a local pioture show ran the picture, "Silver Streak" for two nights. Ministers gave addresses on the railroads, and all clubs of the city entertained railroad speakers.

Some kind of a celebration was held a t practically every point on Frisco Lines. It is lmpossible ,to list the events a t each, but huge stacks of newspaper cllpplngs show that the prograins were received a t each point with enthusiasm.

Much praise and credit goes to the fine work done by the committees in the various localities, also credit to the employes, merchants, newspapers and everybody who, in any way, contributed to 'the success of this program.
