Title	Put-in-Bay and Southwestern Electric Railroad Company Prospectus
Subject	Transportation Railroads Arts and Entertainment Recreation

Description	As Lake Erie's resort business flourished in the 1890s, J.K. Tillotson of Toledo and several other prominent citizens of northwest Ohio tried to establish an electric railroad company to attract tourists. Tillotson was the head of the Put-in-Bay Hotel Company, which built the Hotel Victory. There is no evidence that the railroad was ever built; it was likely doomed by the Panic of 1893. This 31-page printed prospectus, which measures 6 by 8.5 inches (15.24 by 21.59 cm), describes the railroad's proposed route and resorts and businesses along the line. Maps of the route, and of Findlay, Fremont, Tiffin, and Fostoria are included.
