the freight destined for he Eastern market would n necessity

Again. it is a Philadelphia measure, because is the shortest
and most direct line TO the Lakes and will require less Time and
less those rich "nand seas with the Eastern
seuboard than any road in operation projected Should the
Sunbrv and Eric Railroad be constructed (nd the prospects
Tor such consummaiOn still avorabc) il will require the
construction OF short link to connect the two great main trunk
lines of Pennsy yana each o which would assist maternity not
only increasing the tonnage your road bu, become natural
outlets or the great though undeyeopcd wealth of aa entire
country traversed by your proposed route.
The question may frequently be asked by those un0cquaated
with the resources OF this section OF State VIII this
road offer capitalists safe Investment Will the return bo
sufficient them for thus invested think
there abundant ncs prove that the stock will only
prove safe investment but that the local freight alone without
regarding the immense tonnage which seek s way

the profits, handsome dividends the stockholders.
When we take into consideration the numbeess facilities your
