This authentic, great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed in a 1944 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
The Lady had a Baby
MR. Flintheart tycoon,
about to complete his work
in Seattle and anxious to get back
east to his plant, calls: "Eliot 68oo
. . . Drawing room on the Olympian
for Tycoon to Chicago, please . . .
No chance? A compartment, then
. . . None for thirty days? Maybe
a bedroom?" . . . Mr. Tycoon compromises
with dignity and takes a
lower berth.
On boarding the Olympian he
found the Lady-who was to occupy
the upper of his section-had a
baby. It seems the Lady had been
bidding good-bye to her Tokyo-
bound husband, and the baby to
his or her (Mr. Tycoon never knew
which) Tokyo-bound father.
In the smoking room an hour
out of Seattle, Mr. Tycoon, was
heard telling a hard-boiled colonel
-"First time I've ridden in an
upper since I was a youngster beating
my expense account. But confound
it! What could a man do?"
Later the colonel was chuckling
as he switched off his berth light
. . . the Pullman conductor was
chuckling with the steward over a
late coffee..."Imagine! Mr.Tycoon
says to me, {Give my lower to the
Lady with the baby.' "
Aboard transcontinental trains, such
as the electrified Olympian, little
happenings make big news. Mr.
Tycoon, usually distinguished as
<<the prominent industrialist," was
distinguished by his fellow travelers
on this trip as "the man who gave
up his lower to the Lady with the
baby," It was a new experience, and
Mr. Tycoon enjoyed it, thoroughly.
The incident illustrates the unselfish
spirit chat's kept train travel
free of rationing. It's a Spirit that
augurs well for the future-holds
promise for the Babies of the Ladies
The Milwaukee Road
