Description
"Col. B. W. Wrenn, passenger traffic manager of the Plant System, has just returned from a month’s trip to the north and east, where he has been looking after interests of the Canada and Atlantic Steamship Line of that System. All of these steamships have been running full during the summer, and all available space on them is engaged for two weeks ahead.
