The Wright Special Train.

This is an innovation made necessary
by the overcrowded condition of all
regular trains, both going and coming,
that traverse the Great Panhandle
Country that undeveloped region that
is just now coming prominently before
the public as the last and best of the
American domain yet available to the
home-seeker of moderate means.
This Company is one that ''does
things. 1t not only buys land by the
wholesale, but by every modern method
of business economy searches out buy
ers to whom it's purchases are deliver
ed in quantities to suit at the lowest
possible prices. When we found it al
most, if not quite, impossible to get
our customers to our lands at all, and,
even when successful, only with great
discomfort and an experience which un-
fitted them in marked degree to ex-
ercise the good judgment we expect of
them in arriving at a conclusion, we
arranged for the Wright Special al
train made up wholly of Pullman sleep
ers with a diner attached, the latter in
charge of an experienced caterer. The
coaches are provided with everything
necessary to the well-being and COM
fort of our customers, an accommodate
ing porter in charge of each. None of
our guests need leave the train at any
time for meals or beds, and the person.
al attention of our statesmen is given
everyone, to the end that the trip to
and from destination may be one of
pleasure as well as profit.
Berths are only 81 each way between
Kansas City and Friona; meals, la
carte, SO cents each-a a reduction from
regular prices that in no way detracts
from the excellence of the service
given.
We want you with US on our next ex-
cursion. We leave Kansas City on
Wednesday, July 18th for our new
property, the Spring !Lake Ranch, a
magnificent body of 100000 acres, not
one of which is faulty, located in the
fame shallow water district (The pur-
est water in unlimited quantities is OBJ
tainable at a depth of only Is to rs
feet.) The new town Of Spring Lake
has already sprung into existence, with
hotel, school house, etc., we'll under
way toward completion. Surrounding
farm lands of high grade are offered at
SIS per acre-a small payment in cash,
balance on ten years time, deferred
payments bearing the low rate of only
6 per cent interest.
Your ticket will read to Friona, whence
you are transported by automobile or
carriage to Spring Lake and given ev-
cry opportunity to, test our judgment
and verify our statements relative to
the Great Panhandle Country.
The regular advertised excursion
rates given by all railroads on Tuesday,
July 10th, if you want to examine our
offerings, entities you to passage on the
Wright Special Train. Meet us in
Kansas City. Every regular train from
the East and North will have reached
here Wednesday, morning before we
start, and we have the clear right of
way over all traffic to destination. You
are thus assured a quick as well as a
comfortable trip, both going and COM
ing. Returning, we leave Friona SAT-
urnay evening at s o'clock, scheduled
to reach Kansas City next evening.
Your loss is greater than ours if you
overlook this opportunity to get into
the Great Panhandle Country on the
Iground floor, before the boom and con-
sequent imitation of prices strikes it.
