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:
“Okay, guys – this is it!”
Assembly in 20 minutes. Full kit and no farewells.
Their next letters home will be V-mail; their address
an APO. That's what travel orders mean.
To Pullman, those orders mean that sleeping cars
must be waiting when the boys are ready to roll.
20 cars here-40 there-100 somewhere else. Every
night, special trains of Pullmans move an average of
almost 30,000 troops.
That takes a lot of cars. It leaves only part of the
Pullman fleet to handle regular passenger travel that
is far heavier than in peacetime, when the who/e fleet
was available. So no wonder trains are crowded and
accommodations sometimes scarce.
But most passengers understand the situation.
And the fact that boys in uniform come first with
them, as they do with Pullman, is not the only
reason for the tolerance with which they take whatever
space is open. It's also that wartime travelers seem
to look on Pullman in a different light. A Pullman
trip, to them, is no longer simply
the gay adventure in good living
that it was before the war. Now,
Pullman privacy and comfort are a means to an end in themselves.
They help a harassed man relax from the drive of a
troubled day. They give him a few restful hours undisturbed-in which to think things over. Then,
when bed-time comes, they invite the deep, refreshing sleep from which a wartime traveler wakes with
the new energy and vigor he needs to do the kind of
job that Uncle Sam expects of him.
These things, though they may not themselves
win battles, are important to those whom war keeps
on the go. So please:
Cancel promptly, when plans change, and make the
Pullman bed reserved for you available to someone
Else.
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.
