It is the only road with three complete and elegantly equipped trains "between Chicago and each point named, and no railroad managers in America have a more intelligent appreciation of the wants of the traveling public than do those of the famous Chicago & Alton. 19tf BUY YOUR Coal, Feed, AND GRAIN, lajyr^rjofrjprynMd ldJ?y Soaps °f rw/ki '" atfywpWou#*? jjy 5oaps are njade fcr bike SANTA ft Is THE BEST.
