II am congratulatins myself that did
not go To the Catainas with the bunch, for
you know a storm made lapdins imnossi-
bic. I went 20 San Francisco instead It
was my first trip to the extreme west and
was an eye-opener | guess | was like
most Of the fasteners, could not see out
= side of New York, but I a changed
man, for the west is the place. and San
Francisco is ahead of New York in many
respects I attended ball at the Palace
hotel in San Francisco and the women
were better dressed and better looking than
the New York bon-tons. This train has
anything of the cast beaten by a mile and
the dining car service was perfect The
Union Pacific has the roadbed and Is not
afraid to turn the wheels
The Los Angeles Limited has been run
ito has
been late but one day, and that very little
and due to an accident to another train
The schedule is fast. faster to Ogden than

The New York Central has organized an
advertising department for its entire sys-
tenn and has placed in charge George II.
Daniels for many years general passenger
agent of the New York Central. The scope
of this advertising is the entire world and
in the advertising sent to foreign countries
the United States will be exploited. The
department through it's general publicity
incidentally will assist every American
manufacturer in placing his goods in the
markets Of the world. Railroad advertig-
ing has been the means OF bringing thou
sands to America TO investigate manufac-
lures and has wonderfully increased the
foreign commerce of America.
Some idea OF the Importance of this new
department can be had when it is under
stood that II will control the general adver-
Using in America and in foreign countries

, Albany. Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
Michigan Central, Cleveland, Cincinnati
