Tours to California.
California has been most fittingly
termed the 'Italy of America" All the
delicious balm, the cloudless sky, and
the rich verdure of the great European
peninsula are duplicated in this sunny
land of the Pacific. Here nature basks
in the sunshine OF her own beauty; and
here she has established her own santa
rum, Where eternal spring inspires ever
lasting youth. With the snow-mantled
peaks ofthe Sierras upon the one hand, the
calm Pacific with it's soft breezes UPON
the other, and a veritable paradise of
flowers, fruits, and plants between man
can find and needs no lovelier land. To
visit such country is a privilege, a
blessing.

recognized the need of more comforta-
BILE and pleasant way of crossing the
continent, iDaugurated series ofannual
tours to California, running a through
train of Pullman palace cars from New
York to the Pacific Coast, and stopping
at the principal points of interest en-
route. The great popularity of these
tours demonstrates the wisdom of the
movement.
