Eastern railway managers are constantly
sending to the department of publicity
and promotion for advertising matter in

have deemed it necessary to prepare
vast quantities OF matter. baaed on the
material furnished by this department,
with which TO satisfy the popular de-
mands. All this means that thousands

excuse for making long promised trip
to the ''land OF sunshine, fruit anC
flowers
