[PRCo] Re: Millvale/Etna Routes, September 1952

[Fred Schneider]

The Post Gazette, in particular, loved to pick on the Railways Company.  They also
never took a picture of Charlie Palmer with a smile on his face.  Of course we know
why the company charged a higher fare for the through routes ... law of supply and
demand ... the services were faster than the 58, 13, 87 trolleys and therefore they
could get the money.  So would you!
