The readers Of The newspapers OF the
day constantly zee mention made Of
Trunk Line railroads, bat comparatively
few fully understand What Il intended ey
the Delegation. Some three or four
railroad lines running westward from me
Atlantic seAboaFd are Sonestmei not
wrongly called Trunk LiDes, - they torm
the main arteries Of trAfbc toward the
West. II any railroad in the country de-
serves or il entitled 10 the name OF
grand Trunk Line Il Il the Chicago q
SorthTestern Railway. The company
operatine this great line nov controls
more mile Of railway than any other in
America. II not In the world. Il is BY all
ODDS the most important line Of railroad
In any way connected with Chicago. No
other road running out Of Chicago car.
ries anything like as many passengers or
b.uls anything like the volume Of freight

alone runs in and out Of Chicago every
day in the year nearly a many passenger

At IL depot at Chicago. 0fsnburban pas-
sengers IL carries more than all the other
roads that run TO or from Chicago. These
are facts that can be established BY any
one wishing to do 90. No road bat the
very best could do the business this great
line does. It's track Is Of The heaviest
steel rail, and il kept in constant repair
By the constant vigilance Of an army Of
track men, and is patrolleddsy and night
the year through for the double purpose
OF keeping everything connected with it
In perfect condition, and for the entire
safety Of its patrons who are travelling
over it.
No road any ELsre can show a superior
track, finer coaches, stronger, sWitter or
better locomotive engines; and no other
road west Of Chicago has ever attempt.

man Hotel and Sleeping Coaches. Il
alone, Of all the western roads, has the
celebrated Hotel cars, and on this line
only can the traveller between Chicago
and the Missouri river procure the com.
forts and Injuries that these cars alone
can furnish. Other lines may talk Of
Dining cars, and sixteen-Wheel coaches,
but not one Of them can offer you Pull.
man or any other form Of Hotel car.
These cars combine great luxury with the
greatest obtainsble comfort, and at no in.
crease 10 expense over the common, old
fashioned and ordinary sleeping car. The
marvel Of those that travel on them IL to
know how the company can afford 10 run
them and charge no more for berths than
is charged in the old fashioned sleeper.
The answer is found in the great volume
ottrayel this road il carrying. The thou.
sands flock to It's lines where the hun.
dreds seek Its competitors. We are sure
that no one who has once seen these cars
would ever use any other il travelling in
the direction they run.
They are not for the exclusive use Of
the rich, but are Just as comfortable and
elegant for the poorer trAyeler-costing
to occupy these cars no more than does
the occupancy Of the old fashioned sleep
err, no one need for fear Of expense be
prevented from using them. They have
become "the rage" so 10 speak, with the
Californians, and have attracted the ms
iority OF that class OF travel.
II you are about to travel east or west
between Chicago and Council Bluffs,
Omaha, Denver or San Francisco II will
pay you to see that you &c. your tickets
BY the Csteaeo & NNthWestern RailWay. At
some future time we may give you further
ideas about this great rosd.-The Den.
