Ten Turtles to TucumcariA Personal History of the Railway Express Agency
Published by University of New Mexico Press of Albuquerque, 2003
Language: English
First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. TEN TURTLES TO TUCUMCARI A PERSONAL HISTORY OF THE RAILWAY EXPRESS AGENCY 2003 1ST DJ. Quoting from the rear panel of the dust jacket: "From its founding in 1929, Railway Express Agency dominated the transportation industry until the 1960's. In return for a monopoly on passenger train service, the express company was obligated to accept any and all shipments within the United States. REA handled carloads of cattle, race horses such as Seabiscuit, and a hungry nation's fruits and vegetables.When companies or individuals wanted to ship something (even ten turtles) to any place (even Tucumcari, New Mexico), they called REA." I am very pleased to be able to offer a very clean copy of: "Ten Turtles to TucumcariA Personal History of the Railway Express Agency," by Klink Garrett, with Toby Smith. This small hard cover book (6 ¼ x 8 ¾ inches, 172 pages) was published by the University of New Mexico Press of Albuquerque, dated 2003 and a First Edition (so stated). The book is bound in light green, paper-covered boards with a quarter spine in beige cloth and bright red titles on the spine. It is protected by a high gloss, pictorial dust jacket. This book is mostly text, the story of REA although there is a section of 8 pages of vintage b&w photos at page 79. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket is bright and glossy with a trace of darkening along the back upper edge (perhaps tobacco smoke stains, very light and no after-smellplease see the photos). The hard covers are clean and bright and unbumped. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages and photo plates clean and bright throughout. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight, sound and square. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - From its founding in 1929, Railway Express Agency dominated the transportation industry until the 1960s. In return for a monopoly on passenger train service, the express company was obligated to accept any and all shipments within the United States. REA handled carloads of cattle, race horses, and fruits and vegetables. Radioactive material was moved on regular schedules for the Atomic Energy Commission. When companies or individuals wanted to ship something (even ten turtles) to any place in the world (even Tucumcari, New Mexico), they called REA. The history of REA coincides with the career of Klink Garrett, who began as a temporary employee in Rapid City, South Dakota, in 1934 and stayed with REA until 1973, by which time he was a senior executive and member of the company's board of directors.Garrett spent the first half of his tenure working in small offices, usually one-man operations, in the West. In 1956 he was promoted to a national sales position with offices in both New York City and Washington, D.C. His main job was to coordinate the transportation needs of the Defense Department and the emerging nuclear industry via REA. His entrepreneurial ethic--a combination of extraordinary customer service and good old-fashioned ingenuity--gave him lots of good stories to tell, many of which are related here. His last fifteen years at REA were the years of the company's decline and the decline of the nation's railroads; by 1976 the company was bankrupt and out of business.
