No old shelf mark. "Supplement to the Kennesaw Route Gazette. Only direct all-rail route to all the principal cities and towns of Texas is via the Lone Star Route -- International & Gt. Northern Railroad." "By taking this Route, via Little Rock and Longview, you avoid a Long and Tedious Journey across the Gulf of Mexico as well as the Dangers of the Sea and Sea Sickness. Only one change of cars from Atlanta to all stations on the line of International & Gt. Northern Railroad. S.M. Miller, General Ticket Agent, Houston, Texas. H.M. Hoxie, General Superintendent, Houston, Texas. Woodward, Tiernan & Hale, Printers, St. Louis." Probably from some time around the formation of the International & Great Northern Railroad in 1874.
