A Point to Insist On.

There are endless numbers Of travel
ing people who go regularly from New
York to Chicago and vice versa several
times a month, who have never gone
over any other road but the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, because
this road is good enough for them. It's
good enough for anybody, the fastest,
safest, most convenient and most COM
Portable road in America. Once you
travel over the Lake Shore and you will
not want to experiment with any other
road. People who know the comforts
and discomforts of travelling, and what
they have right to expect. always
insist on their tickets reading by way
of the Lake Shore. So should you. ~
