In travelling, the four most important
points to be considered are safety,
punctuality of service. comfort and
speed. The Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railway combines them ALL
Its rOad-bed and equipment surpass
those Of any other railway in America.
And the fact that the United states
government has selected this road for
the last mail trains proves that pune
tuality ana speed are part Of its daily
routine.
If you contemplate a trip between
Buffalo and Cleveland, Toledo, Chi
cago, or points in the west and south
west, be sure and travel over the Lake
Shore. 4"
