In All The World No Trip Like This It’s almost a man’s duty as an educational process, to take his family, while the railroad fares to California have been ent in two and visit the great Expositions at San Francis* co and San Diego; seeing on the way out tha marvelous Mountain Scenery of Colorado— Denver, Colorado Springs, Pikes Peak, Pueblo, the stupendous and world-famous Royal Gorge, and Salt Lake City. Then you should return by way of the North Pacific Coast and either Glacier or Yellowstone National Park. You will never have the same opportunity and if you use the through Pullman service of tha Burlington Route (C. B.& Q.U.R.) or join one of those comfortable,economical and care-frea Personally Conducted Excursions, you can aea the wonders of Colorado without extra cost, for you will pass all those most interesting points by daylight. Don’t forget that. Here’s the idea! Sit right down and write me how many expect to make the trip, just when you want to go, the points you want to visit, how long you expect to stay, and I will plan atrip especially fitted to your time and needs—then you will know all about it. If you decide to go, I will make arrangements for your complete trip, and reserve sleeping berths, when the time comes for you to start. Write today—before you forget it. « J. Francis, G. P. A.
