Meals served in dining cars make it unnecessary to leave the train en route. Travel is an education, and it is delightful to get away from the every day grind, the monotonous or etrermous life to mingle with succeas- ful happy people and, besides, it pays. Round trip tickets are issued by the Grand Trunk Railway at exceptionally low fares, giving choice of all the best routes, via Chicago, Detroit or Buffed°.
