AS an evidence of the resources and increase tr fc
OF the section OF country through which tn road

The preceding official statement is made up al
most exclusively of the shipments Eastward, and
does EOt include the amount OF produce shipped
Eastward from Dubuque or McGregor. which would
swell the totals materially. IT the shipments West
ward by the railroads were given, they would swell
immensely this surprising exhibit of surplus pro-
ducts. =.
This ROAD ALSO RUNS THROUGH THE
RICH AND GROWING TATE OF M,NNES0 A.
Reference to the map OF the United States will sho
that this road passes through ,he most
Euterpu isipy and Growing. p.I tion of
the West, and forms one of the Great
with New York, Chicago and ~. D ouis;
to the latercity, 80 miles nearer from North
ern Iowa and all portions OF the State Minnesota
than by any other road now built or projected, and
also the nearest route from Central and southern
Iowa. --.--.----~.-~-,--
THIS road is required by the wants of that section
where large and incre lsing traffic Is waiting tor
il, and needs railroad comm, cation. The buyer
OF these bonds Is, therefore, guaranteed by gre
business alie dy in existence and has not to run
any of the CONTINGENCIES which always attend upon
the opening Of the roads into new and unsettled
country.
We offer these bonds for the present at 95 and
accrued interest. We rec mmend them to Inves-
tors and officers of Financial II situations, who de-
sire to change their high piiced investments for
security which presents every element OF safety,
and at the same time yields much higher rate of
interest
