The Flint & Pere Marquette Rail and
Water Line offers the public way to
reach Chicago, that for comfort, far
surpasses the all rail lines, to say
nothing of the difference of fare in
its favor, an item well worthy of con-
sideratien. Passengers are landed in
Chicago in the morning after nights
refreshing and invigorating rest in a
Tcommodious state room on first-class
steamship. The experienced traveller
of rail and boat route, for summer
crowded, dusty sleeping cars, and very
little thought on part of the ex-
perienced, will convince him of same.
