Tales of Wells Fargo1957

[first lines]

Jim Hardie:
[narrating] The firm of Wells Fargo played an important part in the settling and development of our American West. As the frontier moved towards the Pacific Ocean, Wells Fargo moved with it, making the hundreds of towns that sprang up in that great wilderness with roads over which their stagecoaches and freight wagons traveled. Wells Fargo's business was transportation and security. Its motto was to safeguard and deliver the goods whether it was human or freight cargo or a consignment of that precious yellow metal that men call gold. The West was a lawless place in those days and a man who worked for Wells Fargo had to be long on courage to hold down his job.
