A Message

The pages immediately following show the official record of the former drivers of the Glacier Park Transport Company as set forth in the 1952 letters from the Superintendent of Glacier National Park and the Superintendent of Waterton Lakes National Park.

Following these letters from incumbent Superintendents are excerpts from letters from earlier Superintendents of each park which carry the record back to 1937.

We request all 1952 drivers to read these letters because we feel that no transportation company in the world can show a better record of official approval. Let us strive to maintain this record in 1952 at the same high level.
