	Said it here before or on some list that the RRs were the Go-Go stocks
of one era, the  Dot--Coms  of their day.    New, exciting,
Transportation beyond horse, New Era, You gotta own some stock, don't be
left out.    I-F  I remember will look for more specific dates, but this
was 90-100--years ago!

	A-N-D   it shall happen all over again in the future    ----    I-F 
this world survives that long.    New  Dot--Coms,    New  Go--Go 
Stocks!
