Bullctln. THE EASE OF TRAVEL TO-DAY. It has j-ist turned a century since the first boat was propelled by steim. There wis njt a complete locomotive Ttl existence then nor a mile of railrjtd track But the pendulum time has swung rapidly f irtyard withiu the lost two generations. The railroad, the teleg.-jp'.i, mi Lie telephone have revolutionised the commerce a id the iuJiutry of tile world and have made neighbors of remote people. First of all in thU work of upbuilding, expansion, and development corns, the railrotJ It is the medium of exchange, the agency of transfer, and wherever it has gone prosperity has followed. The Pennsylvania Railroad has built thousands of miles of track and equipped it with the best rolling stock. It has constructed or absorbed branch lines and consolidated them with its main stem, thus bringing industrial and manufacturing interests in direct touch with all the centres of trade aui affording the people the facilities of travel in all directions. Travel is no longer a dtead. it is a pleasure. Comfortable cars by day or night drawn by the best type of locomotives over a roadbed maintained at tbe highest degree of excellence, eliminate as far as possible the annoyances of travel and make it recreative rather than burdensome Tickets are sold at the lowest rates consistent with good management and under conditions moat aocom uodating to the passengei. The schedules of the trains are designed to meet the wishes and requirements of the greatest number of travelers, and the equipment, both as to vehicles and employes, is kept at the highest state of efficiency. It is .the object of the minigemrit to encourage travel by making it easy. Interchange is th : life of the social system. Travtl is a tonic to the tired—the lens of obse. vation to all. The Pennsylvania R til road sells tickets good for a mile as well as for a trip around the world. It will plan a trip for you or provide the tickets for one of your own selection. > It is a fine thing to have a great transportation agency - like the Pennsylvania Railroad at your command.
