A triumph Of chair car construction
is embodied in the splendid electric
lighted chair cars added by the Min
neapolis and st. Louis railroad to Its
night trains running between Des

are the finest thing on Wheels. They
are electric lighted and are. as luxur-
iously furnished as the most elabor-
ate Pullman. The electric lighting is
brilliantly effective and artistic. The
car furnishings are as complete as
the most extensively furnished draw

wash rooms which are perfect in their
Electric fans at either
end OF the car will make travel In

handsomely equipped train In service
in Iowa, as well as the most conven-
lent in which to travel.
