Roadbed, Tracks. 



There are plenty of people who don't understand the extent to 

 which a good condition of roadbed and tracks contribute to the safety 

 and comfort of travel. 



They know simply that after a journey over some railways a 

 something has made them tired and out of sorts. 



It was the sag and lift of the train due to a poor roadbed; annoy- 

 ing side jolts from untrue gauging of the rails. 



It takes time, money and plenty of good, hard work to make a 

 good roadbed and tracks. 



It requires ceaseless vigilance and care to maintain such condition. 



The most perfect roadbed and finest track adjustment in America 

 are found on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway. 



This is a broad assertion, but one which actual conditions fully 

 warrant. 



A good preventative for that "tired feeling" in traveling is to use 

 the Lake Shore between Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, New York, Boston 

 and all other points east and west. "Book of Trains" for the asking.
