Beyond the overnight trucking
area lies a vast territory reached
by second, third and fourth day
railroad freight service over the
three trunk-line railroads serv-
ing Philadelphia which permit manufacturers in
the Philadelphia district to ship direct to virtually
every point on the North American continent.
By two-day railroad freight delivery from Phila-
delphia it is possible to reach the principal cities
in a territory embracing a population of more than
43,000,000 whose annual spendable income is ap-
proximately $40,000,000,000—forty-seven percent
