VICTOR HUGO said Napoleon made the 

 boundaries of Empires to oscillate on the 

 map. 



We keep track of the oscillations, political 

 changes and all artificial transformations in the way 

 of cities, railroads, and canals. 



We have a complete record of all geographical 

 discoveries, and have made many discoveries ourselves 

 in map making. 



Any one giving us a commission will be assured 

 of receiving the best and most advanced work in 

 map making.

This is Mexico— the Egypt of America, a country so odd, 

 so different, that a trip there is one of the delights of a life- 

 time. Now is the season to see Mexico at its best. 



"Sights and Scenes in Old Mexico," a dainty little book, is replete 

 with interesting facts about the Egypt of the New World. It's free.

How to Go to Mexico 



The principal highway to Mexico lies through St. Louis. Most roads run 

 through trains to St. Louis, and the M. K. &T. Ry. runs through sleepers from 

 St. Louis to the City of Mexico without change. The route lies through Ft. 

 Worth, Waco, San Antonio, Torreon, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, 

 etc. Ask your ticket agent to sell you a ticket via St. Louis and the Katy. For 

 rates and full information, write
