Description
This pamphlet from the early days of the proposed merger of the Rock Island and Union Pacific Railroads was designed to get shareholder support for the planned union of the two companies. The Union Pacific had long wanted direct access to Chicago and St. Louis, and the Rock Island stood to provide that to them; all that was needed was approval from the shareholders, the Interstate Commerce Commission, and other regulators.
