SUNSET LIMITED—TRAIN DE LUXE
In accordance with announcement made some weeks ago, the Southern Pacific Company, on Tuesday last, re-inaugurated its famous "Sunset Limited" service between San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New Orleans, giving the State of California one more splendid train de luxe to connect it with the East. The "Sunset Limited," which represents the very highest type of latter-day railroad construction, will leave San Francisco every Tuesday and Friday, arriving at the Southern metropolis the following Friday or Monday, as the case may be. Coming westward the train will leave New Orleans every Monday and Thursday, arriving in San Francisco on Thursdays and Sundays. The running time between the two cities is thus shortened twenty-four hours — or one full day. Every luxury which the human brain could devise for the comfort, enjoyment, and safety of transcontinental railway passengers has been employed in the construction, equipment, and proposed operation of the "Sunset Limited." For the busy man there are stenographers, valets, barbers, telephones, special mail boxes, daily stock reports, and the like; for the ladies there are maids, manicures, hair-dressers, electric fans, writing-rooms, and an elaborate array of current magazines, popular fiction, etc.; while for every one there are the diners, the observation cars, the shower-baths, electric lights, buffet, and a hundred other large and small conveniences. "Sunset Limited" is a train de luxe in every particular. A trip to New York City via "Sunset Limited" offers many delights. Whirling across the continent for three days, the traveler lands in New Orleans, "the Carnival Capital of America," and one of the most interesting and captivating cities in the world. After spending as many days as the traveler pleases in the Creole city, he (or she) may board one of the Southern Pacific liners which ply across the Gulf of Mexico and up the Atlantic coast to New York. In this way a delightful break in the otherwise tedious coast-to-coast trip is accomplished. First-class tickets from San Francisco to New York are good on the Southern Pacific vessels. Thousands of dollars have been expended by the railroad company in an effort to make the "Sunset Limited" a peerless conveyance for the discriminating transcontinental traveler. The all-steel Pullman cars which compose the train have been especially constructed for this new service, and all elaborations have been made with the idea of insuring the comfort of "Sunset Limited" patrons. The Emmanuel Children's Home, of Mountain Grove, Missouri, has added a self-supporting department, and will gladly send a beautiful catalog and colored circulars describing and showing over one hundred and eighty Scriptural text wall cards and mottoes retailing at from 5 cents to 25 cents each. Be sure and send your address at once before Christmas. Their line will please every one.
