A DOZEN DIFFERENT WAYS

When the ordinary citizen lntends to
20 east. or send for friends or rela-
tIves to come west, the choice OF routes
ls a question that always bothers him.
lie wants TO know II The same route he
used once, some time ago, makes the
salue time, same connections, II the
price is the same, IL II costs the same
TO 20 east Is 1t did to come west. Pos
sibly he has heard or read OF famous
points OF interest In the west or middle
west that he overlooked on the trip
he made. Did not see them because he
had not time; did not know he could
for the same money;dld not know he
could get q stopover. There are hun
dreds OF questions he would have ask
ed, many things he would have liked
to have seen and many accommodations
he could have enjoyed, only he did
not have the time TO look into the sub
ject, and II was too much bother any
way.
Here is O suggestion that Will save
you all that trouble, vexation and re-
gret. The Illinois Central Railroad
company runs east and south from st.
Paul, Omaha and st. Louis, and north
from New Orleans. At these points
II connects with all the western trunk
lines, and through them with all
their western connections. The Illinois
Central does not care which line you
use In the west, northwest, central
west or southwest, because II connects
with all of them, and is absolutely i'm
partial to all. All you have to do Is to
drop US note tell US your destination
and starting point. Is there anything
In the whole glorious west that you
want TO see on the way? Mention 1t.
We Will arrange for 1t II II can be
done. Perhaps you want a stopoyer.
We will arrange that too, II It Is pos
sIble for anyone TO do 1t. Just make
a suggestion as to the western line
and we will elaborate 1t for you; tell
you the time you should start, when
you should arrive at your destination,
what accommodations you will enjoy,
what IT will cost you, an itinerary for
the trip. and will do everything we pos
sIbly can to make your journey pleas
ant and comfortable. That's what we
are here for We have headquarters
In Portland; agents in Portland and
Seattle and travelling agents that will
come and talk 1t over with you at any
time and at any place in the north
west without its costing you cent
more than a postage stamp. Chicago
business is speciality with US, but we
have our own rails In dozen different
states east Of st. Paul, Omaha and
New Orleans, and can ticket you to
these gateways over dozen different
routes. Write U.s. BY the way do
you want nice wall map Of the Unit
ed States, Cuba and Porto Rico. Send
ME six cents to pay postage. d. II.
