7 He NORTHWESTERN LINE.


Take this line from St. Paul and
Minneapolis to Chicago, Duluth,
Washburn, Ashland and all points
on Lake Superior, and to Sioux
City, Omaha, Kansas City and all
intermediate points.
The Northwestern Line will
take you to the wheatfelds of
Dakota and Minneapolis and the
corn fields Of Iowa and Nebraska,
to the Black Hills and the wonder
full oil and coal bearing districts Of
Wyoming, or it will take you to
the pine woods Of Wisconsin and
Michigan, and to the Gogebic Iron
Ranges.
No line is so well equipped for
its passenger business, or gives
more attention to the comfort and
convenience of passengers than
"The Northwestern Line" nor
does any other line make as good
connections East, North, and
Southwest. With tourists, land
seekers, or emigrants, in fact with
all the travelling public "The
Northwestern Line" stands first.
At Mcmillan Junction the G. B.
