Moline the management declares it has
given it the strongest cast it has ever
enjoyed. In order that this company
may be judged on its merits and that
no false impressions Of its aims may
prevail in advance of seeing their
earnest work. it is we'll to note the
leading principle which has guided
through its long Chicago and New
York runs-the principle is directly at
variance with that prevailing in sys-
tens at present in effect with many
of our leading producers-it is pet
theory of the management to avoid
the undue prominence of any number

mated to the general effect. To those
