THIS ROAD, WITH THE CANADA SOUTHERN, 
FORMS THE NEW TRUNK AIR LINE FROM BUFFALO 
TO CHICAGO. IT IS UNDER THE SAME CONTROL 
AND MANAGEMENT, AND IS BEING BUILT BY THE 
SAME PAR TIES WHO BUILT THE CANADA SOUTH¬ 
ERN : MILTON OOURTRIGHT, JOHN F. TRACY. 
DAVID DOWS, WILLIAM L. SCOTT, HENRY FAR- 
NAM, R. A. FORSYTH, JOHN M. BURKE, M. L. SYKES, 
Jk„ ALL DIRECTORS BOTH IN THE CHICAGO AND 
NORTH-WEST AND THE CHICAGO AND ROCK IS 
LAND; GEORGE OPDYKE, OF THE NEW YORK MID¬ 
LAND; SIDNEY DILLON, DANIEL DREW, JOHN ROSS, 
DAVID STEWART, SAMUEL ,1. TILDEN, KENYON 
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 CO .IPLETED DURING THE COMING YEAR ; 
NEARLY ONE HALF OF THE ROAD WILL I5E COM¬ 
PLETED AND IN 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 UTMOS T CAPACITY, 
ARE NOT AFFORDING FACILITIES EQUAL TO THE 
GREAT AND CONSTANTLY-INCREASING DEMAND 
FOR TRANSPORTATION, AND THAT THIS ROAD, 
THROUGH ITS ENTIRE LENGTH, BEING PRACTI¬ 
CALLY STRAIGHT AND LEVEL, AND SHORTER BY 
THIRTY-FIVE MILES THAN BY ANY OTHER NOW 
BUILT, OR THAT CAN BE BUILT, it must be ap¬ 
parent that this line is not only needed, hut 
must be a great success. The proceeds of 
these Bonds will complete and equip the en¬ 
tire road, and we confidently recommend 
them as a most safe and profitable invest¬ 
ment.

The recent improvements on this machine make it one of 
the most perfect pieces of mechanism in the world. Every 
housekeeper in the country should see it, and judge for 
themselves, since it is now guaranteed to meet every need 
of the household. Any machine at this price that will knit 
20,000 stitches, or 22 incites perfect work, per minute—either 
in flat web, hollow tube, or circular form, in any plain or 
fancy stitcli that can be done by hand—will certainly be 
found more useful and convenient in a family titan a sew¬ 
ing-machine can possibly he. It is very simple ill its opera¬ 
tion, and knits any kind of yarn, cotton, linen, silk, or 
woolen, in plain or fancy stitch of Knitted, Crochet, or
