A PLAN IS HERE SUGGESTED
Five Passenger Coaches Filled
With People Daily.
OUGHT TO STOP IN NORFOLK.
The New Northwest, a Great and |
Growing Country Which Has a
Wider Field Than Any Other Por-
tion Of State, is Open to this City.
Five passenger coaches filled with |
men and women who are going to |
market to buy, pass through Norfolk |
every day in the week. Three of them |
come in over the Bonesteel branch of |
the Chicago & Northwestern two of |
them arrive from the Long Pine end |
of the division; and nearly all of them |
pass on straight through to either |
Omaha or Sioux City. There are prob
ably thirty-five people to the car on |
an average-over 1900 each week.
and nearly all of them could stop in |
Norfolk with advantage if they only |
knew it.
These people are passing through |
every single day of the year, enroute |
to the cities on the Missouri river
looking for chances to spend their |
money for clothing, dry goods, shoes
notions, pianos and a thousand other |
things which they cannot get in such |
large variety of their home merchants. |
1t is the surplus trade which always |
goes away from home and it might |
far better come to Norfolk than to
Omaha or to Sioux City.
Why? To begin with, a person go
ing from Fairfax, for instance, saves
just 1920 cash expense, to say moth
ing of whole days time, in coming
to Norfolk rather than to Omaha.
From Norfolk to Omaha it is 12O
miles. At cents per mile this is
$500 down and $3.50 back-$7.20 in
all for extra railroad fare. The trip,
secondly, requires just twenty-four
hours more time. Leaving Fairfax
at 2 o'clock in the morning, the pas
senger arrives in Norfolk at 6. He
may do his shopping during the morn
ing, have seven full hours in the city,
and get back home an hour before
supper time that afternoon. Passing
on to Omaha, he would arrive there
