N recognition of the results obtained from safety measures in practice on the Chicago Elevated ailroads, the American Museum of Safety in 1916 awarded Honorable Mention" to the Chicago Elevated Railroads in the Brady Medal contest among electric railroads.

Ten years without one
fatal accident

One billion seven hundred millions of passengers-equivalent nearly to the population of the world -have been carried by the Chicago Elevated Railroads during cen years without a single fatal accident while on their trains.

Safety first, last and always is the constant watchword of the Elevated management. Civic pride alone, aside from individual interest, should induce Elevated patrons to co-operate in the elimination and prevention even of minor accidents.
