PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is one of
the greatest systems of Interstate COM
munication in the world. Long years of
careful and judicious management has
placed it in position above the fear of
competition from rival lines. Its system
connects two oceans, and reaches, with
itstributary lines every important point
in the country. Its appointments are
superb, and it has contributed more
than any other road to make travelling a
luxury. Accidents to its employees or pa
irons and matters of rare occurrence.
1t would take columns to describe in
brief its many advantages. Every safe
guard, every convenience, every comfort,
every luxury that ingenious minds have
devised and cunning hands fabricated in
railroad economy, are in practical opera
ton on the Pennsylvania.
The inducements it holds out to sum-
mer tourists are unparalleled. 1t con-
trolls direct chain of communication be-
stretching from Sandy Hook to Cape
May Point. If the country is preferred,
the Pennsylvania road carries the trave.
Ter to all important places In New York,
New England and Pennsylvania. Whether
1t is desired to summer in some quiet,
sleepy, inland town, or within sight of
green fields and within sound of babbling
brooks in quaint old-fashioned farm
house, or among the crags and cliffs Of
the Blue and Allegheny mountains, or on
the health giving heights Of Mount
Washington, this road carries you to the
chosen elysium quickly, cheaply, and
safely.
Ali the famous health resorts are tap
ped by it, and whether the invalid be
afflicted with consumption or hay-fever,
the Pennsylvania will take him to the
place of cure. Its enterprise has built
up along its main lines of travel, within
few minutes ride of Philadelphia, a
hundred little villages, and places that a
few years ago were primeval wastes are
now bright with new life. Villas and
cottages, many of them as sumptuously
elegant as the places of the Old Worlds
mobiles, dot the hills, surrounded by care
fally-kept grounds, that in summer make
picture of Incompatible rural beauty.
The people of no city in the world have
so many and diversified places of summer
resort, within easy riding distance, as
have the inhabitants of Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania road, by means of its
many fast trains which leave the station
Broad and Market, daily, makes it posi-
BILE for the business man to summer at
the resort of his choice, without interfer-
ing in any way with his business in the
city. The roads facilities for the rapid
and careful handling and transportation
of freight are Incompatible fine. Its re-
cent enterprise in putting on fast passen-
ger trains, brings Chicago within twenty
three hours ride of Philadelphia, and
transports the traveller to Cincinnati in
eighteen.
Its road-bed is rock. ballasted, its rails
are steel, its rolling stock of the most APP
proved pattern, and its employees are
trained to habits of politeness and atten-
ton to the travelling public. Parlor-cars,
dining cars, and sleeping-cars are at
tached, where necessary, to trains and
it is one of the wonders of modern rail-
road travelling that the Pennsylvania,
more than any other road, has assisted in
developing and perfecting, that one can
lice on railroad train in as much ease
and comfort as in ones own home.
The Pennsylvania road never retro
grades. 1t always moves upward and
onward" and it uses all legitimate means
to compass this end. 1t is jealous of the
rights of its patrons, and quick to defend
them. The machinery Of its manage
ment runs like well-oiled piece of
mechanism, smoothly and without jar or
crash. Every new invention in railroad
economy is carefully investigated. II Its
adoption is found to add to the comfort,
convenience, or safety of the travelling
public, no expense is spared to secure its
control. Its vast army of employees are
trained to observe this one precept: "The
comfort Of our patrons above all else"
Its motto might justly be written thus /:
"Speed - safety = comfort" - Philadel-
