"Stop-over at Washington. Whether national pride or curiosity is the incentive, transcontinental passengers, especially those who have not visited Washington, should permit nothing to interfere with stop-over at the National Capitol, a privilege embraced in all westbound tickets via Washington Sunset Route by depositing tickets at Stop-over Bureau at Union Station. Mr. J. E. Peckham, representing Washington-Sunset Route, will meet standard, tourist or coach passengers if notified in advance, and will show them the interesting sights of the Nation's City without charge."
