The Bath & Hammondsport in upstate New York does practically all of its business hauling wines from the state's wine district. The Camino, Placerville & Lake Tahoe, which clears about $6,000 annually, services two northern California sawmills. The Virginia Blue Ridge Railway, only 17 miles long, does most of its business hauling bulk freight for a quarry and an American Cyanamid plant in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains...

Although the company shies from medical claims, French doctors often prescribe Perrier for mal de mer and morning sickness.
