WHAT THE PAPERS SAY:#

The Michigan Central provides the best possible service that could be expected between the East and the West.—Christian Leader, Boston.

"Comfort in Travel" has nowhere reached a higher degree of perfection than on this far and justly famed road.—Christian Herald, Detroit.

The Michigan Central is one of the best managed and most satisfactory railroads in the world to travel by.—Rochester Post Express.

"Comfort in Travel" is a phrase that among experienced travelers has come to be almost synonymous with "Michigan Central."—Democrat and Chronicle.

Safe, luxurious and fast running over a peerless track, amid the grandest scenery, the Michigan Central trains make comfort in travel a delightful reality.—Buffalo Enquirer.

"Comfort in Travel," that want of all tourist and commercial birds of passage, is invariably filled on the Michigan Central, "The Niagara Falls Route."—Evening Wisconsin.

As for the promise of "Comfort in Travel" by this road, as well as the speed and safety realized, the many thousands who pass over it will surely testify that it is kept to the letter.—The Standard, Chicago.
