Ves:ibule, Sleeping, and Dining Cars will
exemplity the latest and best work of the
PullIsan shops. They will run through to
California on quick time, delivering their
passengers at desirable points in the Golden
State and picking them up at the appointed
rendezvous for the return trip. Tourist
Agents and Chaperons of wide experience
will conduct the party and minister to their
comfort in every possible way. Peculiarly
favorable concessions will be granted them
by the railroads of the Pacific Slope, SO that
their movements may be productive of the
fullest pleasure at the lowest cost.
These tours are the most ambitions at
tempts yet projected by the Pennsylvania
personally escorted system to provide pleas
ure of the highest grade, and the travelling
public may depend upon securing in them
the most perfect service.
The first tour will leave the East late in
January. 1t will be one hundred persons
and those who anticipate an early spring
outing to the shores of the Pacific
should place themselves in correspondence
at once with Mr.. j. II. Wood, General Pass. |
