You Are Invited to Visit California
SELIG'S EXTENDS INVITATION
IT'S all fixed. You and the missus and the youngsters (if you have any) can pack up the suit cases and grips and get ready to see the wonders of the Pacific coast, including the big expositions, the beautiful California orange groves, and last, but by no means least, the wonderful Selig plant at Los Angeles.
And best of all it is only going to cost you a small fraction of the sum which you would have to spend yourself, if you started off on such a trip, for the Selig Polyscope Company is going to "pay the freight" for the greater part of the trip.
The Selig Special is going to transport you and your family to the Panama-Pacific Exposition and return, in a Pullman train de luxe, at a cheaper price than you can stay at home. The Selig Special will leave Chicago on Thursday, July 8, at 10 a. m., over the Chicago, Union Pacific and Northwestern lines. The cost of the round trip to you is the very low price of $118.00, including round trip railroad transportation, hotel accommodations at points of stop-over, transfer of passengers and checked baggage. If you desire to take side trips, special journeys have been prepared, totalling to an amount of $6.00, making the entire trip, including entertaining and side trips, amount to less than $125.00.
