What is the answer, Mr. Business Man
A skeptical ad style piece questions rail fare comparisons from Chicago to San Francisco using Southern and Northern lines. It notes summer and winter rates of 66.50 and 106 for Southern lines and 80 and 127.75 for Northern lines, with the Southern route 253 miles longer but cheaper in summer. The Oregon-Washington line is described as taking Seattle's trade and profits, with a claim that local businessmen are harmed by its allies.
