| Advertisement Text | Rainier National Park. Read as much about it as you will, see it pictured a thousand times, and believe all the tales you hear of it, and on going there you will find it has been underrated. It is hard to believe when you see it. Mount Rainier is the highest mountain in the United States and has a glacial system greated than that of the whole Swiss Alps. The National Park has an area of somewhat more than 200,000 acres. How bald and uninspiring are statistics! Let it be said, rather, that this is the most beautiful place inthe world. - Edward Frank Allen, in Travel Magazine. Double daily service via the "Milwaukee." |
| Contextual Notes | On July 1, 1910, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad started service from Tacoma to Mount Rainier.
