Bureau of Information


1.-THE Burlington' has recently
established in a convenient quarter
of its elegant and comOdious passenger
station, at Chicago, an Office designed
to afford travellers information on the
thousand-and-one things they need to
know, with regard to routes, rates, con-
nections and accommodations. 1t has
been placed in charge Of an experienced
man, supplied with all railway guides
maps and timetables, and is known as
the Bureau of Information.
It is place to which all travellers
may apply for information and receive
a full and correct answer. This is the
only office of the kind west of the sea-
board cities; and it cannot but prove a
help and convenience to the travelling
public. All trains of the Burlington
enter and depart from this station, and
the intelligent and valuable service of
the Bureau may be enjoyed by all pat
rons of this line.
A special pamphlet Will be issued by
| the Burlington in the near future, CIV
ing accurate information as to "How
to get to the Words Fair Grounds y
How to secure rooms and board at
the various hotels, boarding and lodg-
| ing houses"
Trustworthy agents will be at the G.
B. & .. depot in Chicago, to impart all
information to visitors. Arrangements
will probably be made by which some
| trains will be run direct to the World 8
Fair grounds without change or delay.
