PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD Bulletin. THE SUMMER VACATION GUIDE The summer vacation is the bright spot in the dull routine of the year’s work. It breaks the monotony of the daily round, and cheers and invigo- rates for the strenuous life ahead. America abounds with delightful summer resorts in valley, on mountain, and beside the sea. The Atlantic coast line from Labrador to Cape Hat- teras contains the greatest number of resorts devoted entirely to the pursuit of pleasure and health in the world. One may purchase from Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agents, excur- sion tickets to over eight hundred of these resorts, covering all the desirable places, from the rock-bound bays of Newfoundland to the gentle, sandy slopes of the Virginia beaches; from the White Mountains of New Hamp- shire to the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee; in the wilds of Canad along the shores of the St. Lawrence and the Great Lak The famous seacoast resorts of New Jersey—Atlantic City, Cape May, Wildwood, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Asbury Park, Long Branch, Spring Lake, Seaside Park, Beach Haven and others, so well known that descrip- tion is superfluous—are among the most popular and the most easily acc sible resorts in the country.
