| The readers of newspapers of the day
constantly see mention made of Trunl;
Line railroads. but comparatively few fully

nation. Some three or four railroad lines
running westward from the Atlantic sea
board. are sometimes not wrongly called

les of traffic toward the West. If any
railroad in the country deserves or is enti-
| tied 10 the name Of a Grand Trunk Line.
/ it is the CHICAGO & NORTHWEST
| ERN RAILWAY. The company operat-
in" this great line now controls more miles
of railway than any other in America, if
not in the world. 1t is by all odds the
most important line of railroad in any
way connected with Chicago. No other
r al running out OF Chicago carries any
thing like as many passengers or hauls
anything like the volume of freight that is
transported over this road. 1t alone runs
in and out of Chicago every day in the
year. nearly as many passenger trains as
all the other Chicago roads put together.
As i i. with passenger trains so it is with
freight--it not unfreGuently brings into
Chicago fifteen hundred loaded freight cars
in IA single day. and if it does not bring in
Il thousand cars its managers think it is
doing poorly. Forty to fifty passenger
trains daily. leave and arrive at its depot
at Chicago. OF suburban passengers it
carries more than ell the others roads that
run TO or from Chicago. These are facts
that can be established by any one wishing
TO do so. No road bat the very best could
do the business that this great line does.
Its track is Of TIE heaviest steel rail. and
is kept in constant repair by the vigilance
of an army of track men. and is patrolled
day and night the yerr through. for the
double purpose OF keeping everything con-
nected with it in perfect condition. and for
The entire satety Of its patrons who are
travelling over it.
No road any'rhcre can show superior
track. finer coaches. stronger, switter or
better locomotive engines and no other
road west OF Chicago has ever attempted
TO approach it in its equipment of Pull
man Hotel and Sleeping Coaches. 1t alone
Of all e western roads has the celebrated
Hotel cars, and on this line only can the |
Traveller between Chicago and the Missouri
river procure the comforts and luXuries |
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 IA Pullman or any other form of
Hotel ear. These ears combine great lux
ury with The greatest Ghtalnable comfort.
and nj no increase in expense over the
common, old fashioned and ordinary sleep
ing car. The marvel of those that travel |
on them is TO know how the company can
offer 10 run them and charge no more tor
berths than is charged in the Old-fashiOned
sleeper. The answer is found in the great
volume of travel this road Is carrying.
The thousands flock to its lines where the
hundreds seek its competitors. We are
sure that no one who has once seen these
c,.rs would ever use any other if travelling
n the direction they ran.
They are not for the exclusive use OF the
rich, but are just as comfortable and ele-
CANT for The poorer traveler-cOsiing to
occupy these cars. 10 more than does the
occupancy OF the old-fashioned sleeper. no
one need ior fear OF expense, be prevented
from using them. They have become 1.-THE
rage" SO to speak, with the Californians,
ind have attracted the majority Of that
class Of travel.
