Southern Homeseekers Excursions One Fare to Many States
A garbled but readable ad promotes Southern Homeseekers Excursions offering one fare to rail routes via Illinois Central and Yazoo Mississippi Valley lines. It invites readers from Illinois Wisconsin Minnesota South Dakota and Tennessee Mississippi Louisiana to consider relocation with one day trips and stopovers south of Cairo. It also advertises free copies of the Southern Homeseekers Guide for 1886 from Manchester Iowa, published by the Illinois Central Railroad Passenger Department.
