Any one coming to the State should buy a through ticket to a point as near his actual destination as possible; he will thus secure the benefit of through rates and all existing competition. The rail rates given in the table are all unlimited, except the second-class fares from Detroit to Escanaba and Menominee, and from Chicago to Escanaba, Houghton, L'Anse, Marquette, and Menominee; these tickets must be used within three days from the date of sale. Conductors furnish "lay-over checks" to holders of unlimited tickets who wish to stop off at points on their journey; these are good for at least ten days.

Nearly all of the boat lines sell two classes of tickets, cabin passage and deck passage. All first-class boat fares given in the table include berths and meals, unless prefaced by an *; second-class fares do not.
