The Erie Railroad System's Industrial 

 Department has all the territory traversed 

 by the railroad districted in relation to 

 resources, markets and advantages for 

 manufacturing, can advise with man- 

 ufacturers of specific products as to suit- 

 able locations, and furnish them with cur- 

 rent information of a comprehensive 

 nature dealing with the project in its full 

 relation to manufacture and commerce. 



The Erie is one of the greatest of trunk 

 lines. Its own rails connect the two 

 largest cities of America. Everj' section 

 of the System has its particular merits. 

 Profitable locations exist. It has great 

 general and coal, oil and natural gas 

 resources. 



It is important in this age of modern 

 facilities for manufacturers to locate 

 where they can obtain side tracks so as 

 to receive from and ship directly into 

 cars at the factory. Information can be 

 promptly furnished in this connection 

 about every point on the system between 

 New York and Chicago. 



Manufacturers' inquiries as to locations 

 are treated in strict confidence and 

 absolutely reliable information, so as 

 to promote permanent trafl&c, is furnished.
