This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed in a 1943 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
“Over hill, over dale, we will ride the iron rail…
As the Pullmans go rolling along”
Growing and Going-that's the story of our
armed forces.
Growing every day. And going every night, for
long distance troop movements are usually under
cover of darkness, in Pullman sleeping cars.
It' s a big job for the railroads to haul so many
cars. And a big job for Pullman to provide them.
But it's a welcome job to both of us, one we're
proud and happy we were prepared to handle.
Prepared? Oh, yes. The way Pullman and the
railroads worked together in peacetime-through
the Pullman "pool" of sleeping cars-fitted right
into the wartime picture.
Here's how that "pool" work:
-Railroad passenger traffic in different parts of
the country fluctuates with the season. Travel
south. for instance, is heaviest in winter. And
travel north increases in the summer.
-If each railroad owned and operated enough
sleeping cars to handle its own peak loads, many
of those cars would be idle most of the year.
-With the Pullman "pool", however, over one
hundred different railroads share in the availability
of a sleeping car fleet big enough to handle
their combined requirements at any one time.
As the travel load shifts north, south, east or
west, these cars shift with it. They are seldom
idle because when Jeave7 cars are needed on one
railroad, more are needed on another.
Now that war has come, this "pool" operation of
sleeping cars enables troop trains to be made up on
short notice-at widely scattered points-and routed
over any combination of railroads.
That's what we meant when we said that Pullman
and the railroads were prepared to handle the tremendous
mass movement of troops that goes on
constantly.
It takes a lot of sleeping cars to do it. Almost
drains the Pullman "pool" at times. As a result,
civilian travelers are sometimes inconvenienced.
But the war comes first with the railroads and
first with Pullman-just as it comes first with you1
