Quanah, Acme & Pacific Blotters

The not-very-funny comics on these blotters emphasize QA&P’s service to its customers and, in one case, how little time cars spend in the railroad’s terminals. This would be important because cars going from St. Louis to California via the QA&P would have to change railroads twice, while cars going via a presumably longer route direct from Frisco to the Santa Fe would only have to change railroads once.
