EARLY FISHING GROUNDS

There is probably no place in
the country that offers better
early fishing than the St. Law
renee River and tributaries in
and about the Thousand Islands
and the lakes and streams of
the Adirondack Mountains.
All along the t housan d
Islands and in the Adirondack
Mountains are hundreds of ex-
cellent hotels, boarding houses,
camps and lodges. Near these
places the fishing is naturally
not so good rs it is more remote
in the mountains or up the
little streams.
After a rest of all winter,
however, most any place along
the St. Lawrence River, from
Cape Vincent to Ogdensburg,
offers excellent bass fishing from
the opening of the season, June
10th, and the close proximity Of
the many hotels that open early,
makes it possible to enjoy the
comforts Of city life at night
and visit the fishing grounds in
the daytime.
The same thing IS true of the
Adirondacks with trout, from
the opening of the trout season.

PROSPECTUS

The people Of the United
States are the greatest travellers
on the globe. the most frequent
travellers to foreign lands and
constant travellers at home.
They are discriminating and
independent.
They want to travel the best
routes, get the best accommo-
dations and for the most part
prefer to figure out their own
journeys from information Sc
cured first hand y from the
man who knows most about it.
1t is comparatively easy to
secure and comparatively easy
to furnish the information de
sired by the business traveller.
Answers to the questions,
"What time do | lcavc?"
"How long does it take?"
When do | arrivc?'
comprise about all there is to be
known about a business jour
ney in these days of almost uni
versal sleeping and dining car
service and all the other con-
vcniences of modern day travel.
But for the vacation trip
the place to spend a summer
holiday-it's different. The
questions arc numerous.
To give intelligent informa-
tion regarding the territory
which it serves, known world
wide as THE Vacation Land of
America, 'thc NewYork Central
Lines have established a Travel
Bureau" and at the top of the

freely to equip yourself with in
formation regarding your hoii-
