A DIFFERENT WAYS When the ordinary cltu.-n Intends to go eust, or send for friend or rela tives to come west, the choice of routes Is a question that always bothers him. Ho wants to know If :ho same route be used once, some time ago, makes the same tlnw, same connections, if ' the price is the fame, if it costs the same to go cast .ia it did to tome west. Pos sibly he has heard or read of famous points of Interest in the west or middle west that he overlooked on the trip he mnde. Did not ace them because he had not time; did not know he could for the same money.dld not know he could et n stopover. There are hun dreds of questions he would have ask ed, many things he would have liked to have seen and many accommodations he could have enjoyed, only, he did not have the time to look Into the sub ject, and it was too much bother any way. Here is a suggestion that will save you all that trouble, vexation and re gret. The Illinois Central Railroad company runs east and south from St. Paul, Omaha and Bt Louis, and north from New Orleans. At these points H connects with all the western trunk lines, and through them with all their Western connections. The Illinois Central does not care which line you use in the west, northwest, central west or southwest, because It connects with all of them, and Is absolutely Im partial to all. .All you have to do Is to drop us a note ; tell us your destination and starting point Is there anything In the whole glorious west that you want to see on the way? Mention It. We will arrange for It if It can be done. Perhaps you want a stopover. We will arrange that too, if it Is pos sible for anyone to do It. Just make a suggestion as to the western line and we will elaborate it for you; tell you the time you should start, when you should arrive at your destination, what accommodations you will enjoy, what It will cost you, an Itinerary for the trip, and will do everything we pos sibly can to make your Journey pleas ant and comfortable. That's what we are here for. We have headquarters in Portland; agent In Portland and Seattle and traveling agents that will come and talk It over with you at any time and at any place in the north west without It costing you a cent more than a postage stamp. Chicago business Is a specialty with us, but we have our own rails In a dozen different states east of St. Paul, Omaha and New Orleans, and can ticket you to these gateways over a dozen different routes. Write us. By the way, do you want a nice wall map of the Unit ed States, Cuba and Porto Rico. Send me six cents to pay postage. D. H. Trumbull, Commercial Agent, Illinois Central R.
