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
have placed it in position above the
fear of competition from rival lines.
It's system connects two oceans, and
reaches, with its tributary lines, every
important point in the country. Its
appointments are superb, and it has
contributed more than any other road
to make travelling luxury. Accidents
to its employees or patrons are mat
ters of rare occurrence
1t would take columns to describe in
brief its many advantages. Every
safeguard, every convenience, every
comfort, every luxury that ingenious
minds have devised and cunning hands
fabricated in railroad economy, are in
practical operation on the Pennsyl-
vania.
The inducements it holds out to sum-
mer tourists are unparalleled 1t con-
trob direct chain of communication
between Philadelphia and the ocean
resorts stretching from Sandy Hook to
Cape May Point. If the country is
preferred, the Pennsylvania road car
rles the traveller to all important places
in New York, New England and Penn
sylvania Whether it 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 elysum quickly, cheaply
and safely.
All the famous health resorts are
tapped by it, and whether the invalid
be afflicted with consumption OF hay
fever, the Pennsylvania will take him
to the place of cure Its enterprise
has built up along it's main lines of
travel, within few minutes ride of
Philadelphia, hundred little villages;
and places that a few years ago were
prlmeval wastes, are now bright with
new life. Villas and cottages, many
OF them as sumptuously elegant as the
palaces Of the Old Worlds mobiles, dot
the hills, surrounded by carefully-kept
grounds, that in summer makes a pic
ture of Incompatible rural beauty.
The people of no city in the world
have SO many and diversified places of
summer resort, within easy riding dis
tance as Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania road, by means of
its many fast trains which leave the
depot Broad and Market, daily, makes
it possible for the business man to
summer at the resort of his choice,
without interfering in any way with
his business in the city. The roads
facilities for the rapid and careful
handling and transportation of freight
are incomparably fine. Its recent en-
terprise in putting on fast passenger
trains, brings Chicago within twenty
three hours ride of Philadelphia, and
transports the traveller to Cincinnati
in eighteen.
Its road-bed is rock ballasted, it's rails
are steel, its rolling stock of the most
approved pattern, and it's employees
are trained to habits of politeness and
attention to the travelling public. Par
lor cars, dining cars and sleeping cars
are attached, when necessary, to trains:
and it is one of the wonders of modern |
railroad travelling that the Pennsvlya-
mia, more than any other road, has as
sisted in developing and perfecting
that one can live on railroad train in
as much ease and comfort as in ones
own home.
The Pennsylvania road never retro
grades. Italways moves upward and
onward" and it uses all legitimate
means to compass this end. 1t is ieal-
Gus of the rights of it's patrons, and
quick to defend them. The machinery
of its management runs like a we'll
oiled piece of mechanism, smoothly
and without jar or crash Every new
invention in railroad economy is care
fully investigated If its adoption is
found to add to the comfort, convent
ence or safety of the travelling public,
no expense is spared to secure it's con-
troll. 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 writ
ten thus: "Speed- -safety-comfort. -
