Going West. 



The advice given by Horace 

 Greeley so many years ago, to go 

 west, is being followed every day 

 by an increasingly large number of 

 men and women. Some go to 

 stay, to build new homes, others 

 for pleasure, still others go to look 

 after great business interests, but 

 they go, and they one and all wish 

 to go by a route which combines 

 safety, speed and convenience in 

 traveling. This is the reason why 

 so many choose the Nickel Plate 

 Road. From Buffalo to Chicago 

 its line lies almost as straight as 

 an arrow, and intersected at such 

 frequent intervals by connecting 

 roads that the map looks as if the 

 road should be* named "Through 

 line to everywhere." More than 

 thirty connections are given, reach- 

 ing out in every direction. Then 

 too, many travelers demand a cer- 

 tain amount of luxury when travel- 

 ing, and Wagner cars between New 

 York, Boston, Buffalo, and Chica- 

 go. The uniformed colored por- 

 ters in charge of day coaches, and 

 the unsurpassed dining car service, 

 supply this. Accommodations may 

 be secured in advance by address- 

 ing Mr. F. J. Moore, 23 Exchange 



St., Buffalo, N. Y. He can give 

 details as to rates, connections, 

 and all necessary arrangements, 

 both east and west of Chicago. —

Come to Florida. 



A fortune can be made in a few years 

 in pineapples and tomatoes; vegetables 

 raised the whole year. An ideal home.
