This Company’s line between Chicago and Council Bluffs (Omaha) is
shorter than any other between these points, and was the pioneer in
forming connection with the Trans-Continental Union and Central Pacific
Railroads. Nearly all experienced overland travelers seek this line,
because it is known to be the best, shortest, most comfortable, and in
every way the most desirable. To seek other more circuitous and inferior
routes is accepted as an evidence of inexperience or want of
information.
If you are destined to or from Colorado, Nebraska, Utah, Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington Territory, China,
Japan, the Sandwich Islands, New Zealand or Australia, you should, in
making the trip between Chicago and Council Bluffs (Omaha), in either
direction, see that your tickets read over this great road.
