UNDER THE PERSONALLY CONDUCTED
SYSTEM OF THE PENNSYLVANIA
RAILROAD.


California and the Pacific Coast re-
sorts have become so popular in recent
years with the better class of winter
rest and pleasure seekers that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
decided to run two Golden Gate tours
this winter, one to include the famous
Mardi Gras spectacle at New Orleans.
On the going trip both tours will
travel by the Golden Gate Special,
one of the finest trains that crosses
the continent. One tour will return
by this train, while passengers by the
other and later tour. will use regular
trains returning. In California, pas
sengers will be entirely at their own
pleasure in the matter of itinerary.
Should a sufficiently large number of
passengers desire to join in taking an
itinerary suggested by the Pennsyl-
vanla Railroad Company, the services
of a Tourist Agent and Chaperon will
be at their disposal.

Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,

month may be devoted to visiting
California resorts, the Golden Gate
Special leaving San Fransisco on the
