THE TRAFFIC LIBRARY: TRAFFIC GEOGRAPHY
PREFACE
THE
Traffic Library consists of twenty-five volumes.
The information which it contains is both practical and
authentic. It embraces the field of freight, express and
parcel post rates and services, and comprehends a systematic
and scientific study of the principles and problems of the
second greatest industry in America — Transportation.
The information is arranged in correlated pedagogical
sequence. This makes possible an easy interpretation and
application of the customs and practices of the common
carriers, subject to Government regulation. It is a practical
treatise on shipping and the laws relating thereto under the
Rules and Regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
J sion and the various State Commissions.
:^' The Traffic Library is the product of the earnest efforts of
r several hundred expert practical traffic men, who, seeing the
\ need of a standard treatise on traffic, have presented their
.^ practical knowledge and experience in permanent form. We
believe that this is the first time in the history of Transporta-
^ tion that a practical treatise on the subject has been made
• available.
^ The outline of subjects and arrangement of matter as pre-
^ sented in The Traffic Library was prepared by the Advisory
Traffic Council of the American Commerce Association, and
the material itself is the result of research by the Board of
Authors and Contributors — all practical, expert traffic men.
The names of the members of the Advisory Traffic Council
and the Board of Authors and Contributors, together with
those of the Consulting Staff and the Ten Standing Traffic
C Committees, will be found in the Association's General
- Bulletin of Information, entitled
"
Traffic Efficiency."
\, The Association takes this opportunity of extending its
>) sincere appreciation to all those who have furnished informa-
>tion, offered suggestions or given the representatives of the
'' Association access to original sources of information.
