Electric Line Will Build Up Many
Great Fortunes.

The time has come when the people
ought 10 own the railroads, and they are
going TO own them.
The Chicago-New York Electric Air
Line Railroad is the great entering wedge.
When tins road is built the farmer can
look out upon his grain field with the con-
tent that comes from knowing that when
the harvest ripens the bulk of his earnings
won't go into the jaws of a greedy rail-
road as excessive freight charges. The
manufactures and small freight shipper
win be able TO get his product through
as quickly and cheaply as any other
shipper. No longer will the small shipper
be fooled with the sickly excuse that
we can't get cars" while he sees his
big rivals goods go whiSking along
through pulp and favoritism.

that the project was so big and broad and

line will pay. Steam roads cannot keep

and the maintenance of seventy-tive miles

becomes an easy matter. Steam locomo-
tives arc compelled at high speed to burn
the best of coal. whereas the electric pow

Aurora Road Shows What Electric
Rapid Transit Can AeeompIish.

The Aurora. Elgiu and Chicago r. r.
has shown the world the marvellous posi-
bilities of long distance electric traction
The story OF this unique project is q
tale Of success from start 10 finish For
tunes have been made by the men who
had the courage to break away from pre-
cedent and do something that the rali-
road world said could not be done.
over this fifty-seven mile line fun trains
are run at a speed that sometimes reaches
ninety miles an hour.
This road was built in the face Of pess-
imism and ridicule. Nobody outside its
promoters thought it could succeed, and
especially was this true Of the magnates
Of the two rival steam roads which 1t
paraleled for its entire length. They
laughed and said the electric road would
get no patronage worth mentioning, that
people would not dare ride at such speed.
etc. They were not good prophets, for
we now have the everyday reality OF
success beyond the widest dreams OF the
electric roads best friends. Every train
that runs is filled to it's fullest capacity,
and the trains contain as many cars as
the engines can draw without a sacrifice
of speed. Dining cars and buffet are pro-
vided. and 10 the minutest detail every
thing is most luxurious. comfortable and
convenient. In the five years that the
road has been running not one serious ac-
cident has occurred.
The Aurora road has been the greatest
money maker of any electric project ever
floated. making rich men out OF some
who had but nominal fortunes at the out
set
SO great is the earning power of this
road today that il pays interest on Sc
curities amounting to more than ten mil
lion dollars and is one of the greatest
railroad successes the world has ever
known. What this road has done will be
done on an incomparably greater scale
by the new electric line between Chicago
and New York.

How Passenger Traffic Pays Better
