The name of the Chicago, Milwaukee 

 & St. Paul Railway has long been iden- 

 tified with practical measures for the 

 general upbuilding of its territory and 

 the promotion of its commerce, hence

 the company's lines.

 Railway Company's 6,300 miles of rail- 

 way, exclusive of second track, con- 

 necting track or sidings, traverses eight 

 states, namely:

ILLINOIS. 



which comprise a great Agricultural, 

 Manufacturing and Mining territory. 



The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul 

 Railway Company gives unremitting at- 

 tention to the development of local 

 traffic on its lines and, with this in view, 

 seeks to increase the number of manu- 

 facturing plants on its system either 

 through their creation by local enter- 

 prise or the influx of manufacturers from 

 the East. It has all its territory dis- 

 tricted in relation to resources, adapta- 

 bility and advantages for manufactur- 

 ing. Specific information furnished
