To OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS:
We have been led to secure this en-
ment, not through any apparent lack
of confidence our patrons have had in
US, as we have enjoyed such to the
fullest extent, and the above guarantee
seems to us wholly unnecessary, but we
do not want to leave room for the
slightest doubt or uncertainty in the
minds of any Of our customers. We
are amply able of ourselves to make
good every dollar deposited with us,
and feel certain, with the addition of
this guarantee, that all customers, and
any who see fit to intrust to US their
business, will feel entirely safe.
Thanking one and all for past
favors, Yours truly,
JAS. HUTCHINSON & Sons.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.--All the Western
roads are at present enjoying the sensation
of witnessing a'substantlal increase in the
amount of their passenger traffic. Every
road in the Western Passenger Association
is doing more business now than at any
time since the opening of the Fair, and al
least two of the roads which were strenu-
ously opposed to a reduction of rates below
80 per cent. of the double locals are now
denouncing themselves for not coming
down at an earlier date.
The agents of the various Western lines
are almost unanimous in reporting that
the prospects for "A continued increase of
business are most favorable. This show
ing is decided surprise to some of the
lines which have been croaking about the
financial stringency which alone, they
claimed, has been keeping people back
from the Fair They are now carrying
more passengers and are making more
money from their passenger traffic than at
any time since January /.
