company profits from the train believing
that 1t would be not only a great con-
venience to the people along the line but
to the business men of Birmingham who
want to visit their customers i'll West

the stops between Birmingham and Win

way daily over its lines, giving a service
equal to that of any railroad in the

the theatres and return to their homes
for business the next morning.
