AFTER RAILROAD STORIES
ellison WiIIets to Tour West In search
of Real Experiences of
Real Men.

ellison Willets of New York, explorer
and author and travelling correspondent
for THE Railroad Mans Magazine" pub
lished by Frank Munsey, owner of Mum
sey's Magazine and a half dozen other
magazines and newspapers, is beginning
at Omaha. a novel Around the West
Tour"
Mr.. willets is after stories that have
never before been printed in "A national
magazine-the Individual experiences, ad-
ventures and achievements of railroad
men. II there's any railroad man in
Omaha or any on the Union Pacific or
Southern Pacific between Omaha and
Frisco that has story to tell, Mr.. VIII
let's wants to hear 1t and tell the whole
nation about 1t in THE. Railroad Mans
Magazine"
MIR. WiIlets has already traversed the
principal countries of the earth, gathering
railroad stories for MIR. Munsey. He went
by the Orient Express from Paris to Con-
stantinopIe, by the North Express from
Madrid to St Petersburg. covered half
the distance on the Transsiberian railway,
Travelled 1000 miles in India and saw the
| beginnings Of the Cape to Cairo railway
in Egypt. Frank Munsey has had The
Railroad Mans Magazine in mind for six
years In that time have travelled ESQ
600 miles, getting stories Of the human
side-the railroad mans side-of railroad
ing The next number of the railroad
magazine contains my story of railroading
i'm India" said Mr. Willets.
But the most interesting field is. OF
course. that OF American railways. The
! vast human interest of train and throt-
! tie, of track and trail. has never before
been presented In a national magazine
I devoted exclusively TO railroad men. Mr..
Munsey. who is TO magazines what Mr..
! Hartman is to railroads, believes that
/ the soldiers of the rail constitute an army
so important that il should have kind
