Railroad

System

Is really entitled to be called "great" unless its Management is
enterprising--yet careful; its Trains fast--yet safe and comfort-
able; its Employees highly trained--yet polite; its Equipment
modern--yet sightly; its Road-bed solid--yet not productive of
fatigue to him who journeys over it.
          These are the essentials,
          And the Burlington Route has them all. It is truly A GREAT
RAILROAD.
          When you travel try it.
          Between Omaha, Lincoln, Denver, Hot Springs, Deadwood, St.
Joseph, Atchison, Kansas City, St. Louis, Peoria, Chicago, and hun-
dreds of other towns in the ten states traversed by its lines, there is
no better road, of that fact be assured.

PREFACE.

The general desire of reading people to be informed with regard to the social, mercantile and manufacturing interests of our country, our vast territorial extent, the distance that separates producer and consumer, the impracticability of universal travel and especially the fact that there is a growing feeling of inquiry throughout the world to-day concerning the wonderful "Central State" of the Union - Nebraska - form sufficient reasons for issuing the publication.

Our regular readers in the East and Europe will recognize in our twenty-fourth volume of this kind, the same attention to detail that has been characteristic of former books we have supplied them with.
