Various issues of Information for Employes and the Public. This was a newsletter published by the Pennsy from 1913 until 1930.

Each issues is provided either in jpg form or as a searchable pdf file (most with a scan of the original with the searchable text hidden beneath). Eventually the rest of the issues will be converted to pdf. Thanks to John Marshall for loaning me volumes 2-4 to scan! Also thanks to Bob Johnson of the PRRT&HS for scanning the issues from the first half of volume 6. I'm looking for issues that aren't listed below. If you have an issue that's not listed, can I borrow it to scan?!
