THIS P.OAD, WITH THE CANADA SOUTHERN, 
FORMS THE NEW TRUNK AIR-LINE FROM BUFFALO 
TO CHICAGO. IT IS UNDER THE SAME CONTROL

COX, AND OTHER PROMINENT RAILROAD MEN. 
THE ROAD IS BEING RAPIDLY BUILT IN THE BEST 
POSSIBLE MANNER, WITH SIXTY-POUND STEEL 
RAILS THROUGHOUT ITS ENTIRE LINE. AND WILL 
BE COMPLETED DURING THE COMING YEAR; 
NEARLY ONE HALF OF THE ROAD WILL BE COM- 
PLETED AND IN T RUNNING ORDER BY THE 1ST OF 
JANUARY NEXT, SO THAT THE ENTIRE LINE, 
FROM BUFFALO TO CHICAGO, WILL, WITHIN THAT 
TIME, BE IN SUCCESSFUL OPERATION. THE 
BUILDERS OF THIS ROAD CONTROL ENOUGH OF 
THE LEADING LINES RUNNING FROM CHICAGO TO 
INSURE AN ENORMOUS BUSINESS FROM THE 
START. TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE IM- 
PORTANT FACT, PATENT TO ALL WHO STUDY THE 
STATISTICS OF TRADE. THAT THE PRESENT TRUNK 
LINES, NOW TAXED TO THEIR UTMOST CAPACITY, 
ARE NOT Al FORDING FACILITIES EQUAL TO THE 
GREAT AND CONSTANTLYINCREASING DEMAND 
FOR TRANSPORTATION, AND THAT THIS ROAD, 
THROUGH ITS ENTIRE LENGTH, BEING PRACTI- 
CALLY STRAIGHT AND LEVEL, AND SHORTER BY 
THIR IT-FIVE MILES THAN BY ANY OTHER NOW 
BUILT, OR THAT CAN BE BUILT, it must be ap- 
parent that tllis line is not only needed, but 
must be a great success. Tile proceeds of 
these Bonds will complete and equip the en- 
tire road, and \vc confidently recommend 
them as ix most safe and profitable invest- 
ment.

A GOOD PAYING 
BUSINESS 
for Women as well as 
Mob i — 
Honorable and Useful. 
Several persons of both sexes, in 
different parts of the country, devote 
their chief time to gathering subscribers 
to the American Agriculturist and to 
Hearth and Home, and to selling books 
on Agriculture, Horticulture, Garden- 
ing, Architecture, etc. (see list on second 
cover page, and notices of some of them 
in the advertising pages). For the sub- 
scribers obtained they take the Pre- 
mium Articles offered on page 469, and 
sell them, as they are all very good, 
wanted generally, and are readily 
salable. These Premiums, obtained by 
the Publishers on special terms, are 
000 just as good as money, and give much 
better pay than could possibly be given 
in cash commissions. These canvass- 
ers, who work during the most favor- 
able eeasons, realize from $30Q to 
§3,50O a year, acording to their tact, 
experience, etc. Experience goes a 
great way. Some, who succeeded 
poorly at first, hardly paying their 
board, have by persevering practice 
come to be very successful. The suc- 
cess to be obtained is worthy of long 
practice. It is certainly quite as hon- 
orable and useful to engage in urging 
people to supply themselves with good 
reading and useful information, as it is 
to stand behind a counter and show up, 
and persuade people to buy, silks, laces, 
or other goods, or to engage in any 
other work or business.
