His First
Complaint '
"The writer regrets tlie necessity of lodging
complaint concerniuu" voin usual exrellont
service, but in a tiiendly spirit begs to submit
the follewing: Yesterday you sold me lower
nine, far three, on The Pioneer Limited.
But you neglected to advise me that it would
be necessary to have the porter waken me in
the morning, and as there was so little motion
to the car, I overslept. I have covered a large
area on some of the famous trains of the
United States and this is the first complaint ol
this character I have made. I trust you will see
to it in the future that passengers are advised."
The Pioneer Limited runs daily from St.
Paul to Chicago via the
