A Professional Man’s View of The C. & E. I. Passenger Train.

Mt. Ayr, Feb. 26, 1913. To Whom It May Interest: I jfeve this to say, the people of MMotyr M|d -Vhgnity Are well with tfil passenger traifib that Jias been installed on the Goodland and LaCrosse branch of the C. & E. I. Ry. Also, we learn that on the first month it .was put on there were 150 tickets sold at Mt. Ayr, against 50 of the same month a year before. We also know the passenger business continues to improve, and it would be better still if the company would publish in their schedule this train. A number of parties that we know have asked for tickets at Chicago and were told there was no train for passengers on the Goodland and LaCrosse branch of the C. & E. I. If the road will try for business as much as the people, they will get more business. Your truly, J. W. MERRY.
