Nickel Plate Road service promises time and money savings
The Nickel Plate Road touts three vestibuled sleeping cars and American Club Meals priced from 5c to 100c in Nickel Plate dining cars. Travel from Chicago to the East compares favorably with other lines, with ticket offices listed in Ottumwa and Chicago. The Ottumwa Retail Merchants Association adopts a resolution to drop all forms of advertising except newspaper ads, deeming program advertising unprofitable. The note lists John Y. Calahan as general agent at 113 Adams St Chicago.
