The Lake Shore furnishes a fast ex- 

 press train service for persons desiring 

 to travel at high rate of speed. 



This service is punctual. It is, also, 

 the most complete of any railway be- 

 tween the east and west. 



These trains run between the cities 

 of Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, 

 New York and Boston. 



Their service may be used with equal 

 advantage for all points east and west. 



They are run in connection with the 

 New York Central to and from New 

 Yo/k City, and Boston & Albany R.R. 

 to and from Boston. 



Among them are the famous "Lake 

 Shore Limited" and the "Chicago, New 

 York and Boston Special." 



The Lake Shore "Book of Trains" is 

 designed to give particulars about these 

 trains, sent free to any address by
