An Appreciation.

From Messrs. Booth, Macdonald and Co., Ltd., Christchurch, to the Stationmaster, Christchurch.

We wish to express our appreciation again for the attention given to our parcels which, in some cases, have to be dealt with by your officers only a short time before departure of trains.

Never one complaint have we had regarding late arrivals. As an illustration, we consigned a parcel to Palmerston South at 8.30 a.m. this morning. This we understand caught the Express at 8.35 a.m.—pretty good work. Such excellent service enables us to keep faith with our customers. We get plenty of knocks ourselves, but we certainly must give credit where it is due.

We should also like to mention the Railway Through Booking Office whose efficient work is included in this acknowledgment.
