Read the following, and you will be bet
ter able TO appreciate the fact that the
Chicago & North Western Railway is the
leading line between Chicago and CouncIl
Bluffs; that it can give you more value
for your money than any other line; that
it, in the Use OF these elegant hotel cars, has
taken long stride ahead, and if you wish
the very best accommodations, you must
buy your tickets over this road
The following was written to a friend
by one OF the best known, conscientious
and most travelled OF railroad men:
"MY DEAR SIR;-I have been unavnida bly
detained, since my retlru, in reporting to yOu,
| as prnml sed, nv experience aud verdict as ~
the Pullman Hotel cars on the North We estefn
road. We-Mrs. y. and mysslf-have but a
short story 20 tell about the one we were in
and that il was the most enj nyabls trip we ever
| made between Chicago and home. We were
very agreebly surprised on many accounts.
| First, the car is So elegant, and rides sn per
fectly then the meals are served with such
| neatness, the table linen is changed every time
aud tue car kept in order. There were several
children on the car. Sometimes it may be
worse, aud many times belter in this respect
| There is something luxurons, or rather it is a
luxury, IN glide along through a beautiful
| country over perfect track, aud seated by
| yourselves at an elegant table with your food
chnicely cooked and served wi,h that neatness
you seldom find away from home. The cook
| ing and serving is all that could he desired.
Now AS to the cost: When | went East in
| July, alone, my bills for meals were rather
! high. but fort Of us they were actually less
| than at ordinary eating houses. For dinner we
| had whole prairie chicken, with vegetables,
coffee and dessert, and bread two kinds s-and
| butter thrown in. Cost, 81 so (Or rs cents
per meal. think some more vegetables were
| served than we ordered
We generally eat light supper. Our dinner
was rather late. For supper we had two plates
raw oysters We wished; cost, 40 cents.
| Breakfast was capita one, and is our faVntite
meal. We had a porter-hnuse steak, cooked to
perfection, an nmsletts. potatoes for two. coffee
| for twn, hot cnTnbTead for two, besides tie
bread on the table; cnst, Sl.45 (0r 73 cents
each.l Total Tor the trip. 81 rs (62I5 cenls per
meal. In my judgment, when there are tso
or more in party il will MT in any case ex-
coed rs cents per meal and generally will cost
less ani the cooking and service are the best
| ever saw nu rail.
| am conf lent these cars Will prove a great
success. aud be very popular. The conductor
MIR. TaOer believe we found gentlemanly y
and unnblrusive. We will try it again.
Yours truly, - :"
