This authentic, 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:
“Bet I come back hitched!”
Mother will bring him breakfast in bed. Dad will
talk of Belleau Woods and how they did it in '18.
Mary-well, she's half-way promised-there'll be a
moon-and leave it to a Marine with two weeks'
leave to get “the situation well in hand"!
So Pullman has another passenger tonight-this
lieutenant heading home -another reason wartime
travel is at an all-time high. And besides the huge
load on regular trains, an average of almost 30,000
troops a night ride special trains of sleeping cars.
So sometimes, it's a pretty tight squeeze to take
care of everyone, especially in the customary Pullman
manner. But most passengers realize the difficulties
and are tolerant of shortcomings.
And it's not only that they say, “Troops come
first with us, as they do with Pullman." It's also
that wartime travelers don't seem so concerned
about the free choice of accommodations and the
lavish services that made peacetime Pullman trips
such memorable occasions. That's probably because
what people want from Pullman now are
the fundamental features rather than the frills.
The privacy and comfort that permit a few golden
hours of utter relaxation. That present an opportunity
to do some quiet thinking beyond the jangle
of a telephone. That invite-gently but insistently
-the deep, untroubled sleep that “knits up the
ravell'd sleeve of care."
These things may seem little in themselves, but
they are of vast importance to those whom war
drives hard because a good day's work depends a lot
upon a good night's sleep. So ask yourself, "Is my
trip necessary?" If it is, please:
Cancel promptly, when plans change, so someone
else can use the bed reserved for you.
Travel light and give yourself and fellow passengers
the room that, excess luggage would take up.
Ask your Ticket Agent on which days trains may be
least crowded on the route you want to take. Try to
go on one of those days if you can.

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.
