Travelled over the Green Bay & West

surprised at the great improvements
and growth of cities along that line.
Especially marked was the growth
plainly indicated from the Car
windows in the cities of New London,
SchiOctOn, Black Creek, Seym our and
Green Bay. On arrival in Green Bay
we noticed handsome two story
red brick StruCture-the Green Bay &
Western depot-something new to our
eye in which the patrons of that road
find pleasant waiting rooms The
second story is occupied by the railroad
COmpany'S officials and everything
about the editice impresSes you
favorably. This improvement in con-
mection with all those to rolling
stock, road bed, cars, ETC., reflect the
progress and success that company is
meeting with. The efficiency and
courtesy of the officials and employees
from the highest to the lowest is
what cOmmendS it to the travelling
public for safety and comfort. We
are pleased to note the constant
increase of the Green Bay &
Western railroad in public favor.
