This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed for the July, 1943 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.

Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:

 

Railroading crosses a new frontier

Today on he Great Northern, GM Diesel Locomotives like this are hauling heavy war loads through “The Great West.” On one mountain operation, consisting chiefly of movement of metal vital to victory, the utilization of GM freight locomotives resulted in an increase of 50% in train-hauling capacity.

Here Currier and Ives, the famous portrayers of American life of the past century, depict one of the great eras of railroading

Wars have a way of ending old eras and starting

new ones. Following the Peace of 1865, the nation

was first united from coast to coast by bands of

steel (May 10, 1869). Geographically, America has no

new frontiers. Technically we have many. The curtain

already has been drawn back on one element of the

new era that surely will follow the present conflict-

a new tool for the

improvement of

national transportation-

General

Motors locomotives.

GM Diesel Power

Crossing the new frontier is not alone for the

railroads. GM Diesels will usher in new possibilities

for the farm and for industry as well.

A great Vintage Ad!

You pick your frame color, and you pick your mat color. We will mat and frame your Vintage Ad per your request and send it to you promptly. All you have to do is remove it from the box and hang it on the wall in your home, office, garage, man cave, or showroom!

We mat and frame original, vintage magazine ads...they are in good condition, but may not be perfect as they are many decades old. Frame outside dimensions are 15" x 12", and matted ad is approximately 9-5/8" x 6-5/8" (could be slightly different, depending on ad).

Frames and vintage ads are actual as shown, and mat is computer generated for online viewing. Actual mat is custom cut for each individual ad and mat color will be similar to the colors shown on the website. “Travel Route 3 Scan” watermark is placed on the ad for online viewing only, and is not part of the final product. Back side of Vintage Ad is glued to backing paper so that it continues to display flat over time. Here is what you will receive:
