Dear Sir: | wish to advise you
that | have been appointed
Western Representative in Ne

kota, Main Line of the C. & N.

village who will sell application
tickets for $1.0O each, which
will secure at st. Louis during

commodations with or without

wish a room for this period
with breakfast or three meals a
day, as the case may be; they
state if they wish to pay $500
or $25.00 a week; they state If
they wish to be down town or
within two or six blocks of the
exposition grounds. The st.
Louis Service Co. mails them a
postal giving them the address
of location which they have Sc
cured for the party and attach
ed to this postal is a reply card
which they send to the st.
Louis service Co. about a week
before leaving, giving date
train number and date and
time of arrival in st. Louis,
whereupon a Messenger Boy
with Yellow Cap meets the pas
senger upon arrival, places
them on the right street car,
looks after their luggage and if
they wish to take a hack or cab
advises how much to pay the
driver and thus avoid excessive
prices and they are sure of just
the kind ofa room they ask for.
If they wish $500 room they
pay $500. no more or no less.
These accommodations can he
had in all quarters of st. Louis,
the leading hotels, boarding
houses, private families, etc.
