Additional Details

"As compared with any other line it is better equipped: has a greater number of scenic attractions; a richer tributary territory; presents greater inducement to the business man and scholar; is not swallowed up in snow sheds; is the shortest route to southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Old Mexico, and southern Colorado and offers low rates to the tourist or the emigrant as any other line. For information apply to W. F. White, General Passenger and Ticket Agent, Topeka, Kansas."
