NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE 
TOURS THROUGH TOLTEC TOWNS. 
The travel into Mexico annually becomes larger as people 
come to realize the novelty of the delightful journey and the 
ease and cheapness with which it can be made via the Southern 
Pacific aud connecting lines in Mexico. At Spofford Junction 
the Northern and Eastern tourist, who has presumabl}^ taken the 
Southern Pacific at New Orleans because of its quick and direct 
service and splendid equipment, finds his sleeper switched from 
the main line, and a waiting train speedily takes him to Eagle 
Pass and the Rio Grande. His car goes direct to the City of 
Mexico via the Mexican International and Mexican Central 
Railways, and the way leads through some of the most beauti- 
ful and inspiring .scenery in the world. The whole native life 
is so quaint and so at variance with all preconceived ideas — so 
different from anything one sees in the United States — that the 
tourist is in a constant tremor of excitement and finds himself 
continually edified and interested. The life of the cities is no 
less unique than is that of the rural district. Making the City 
of Mexico a center, a great many points may be profitably vis- 
ited — from the snow-clad summits of the great mountains to the 
lowlands where the coffee and banana plantations .sweep to 
the seacoast. P'or adflilional information call on or write to 8. F.
